Despite being loosely sewn together by random events, the film wins us over with a romantic payoff

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 30, 2024

Sinking into one of his most endearing roles, Cera is characteristically awkward as Nick.

| Oct 3, 2022

While Cera delivers the same performance as always, at the time this felt fresh. Dennings is charming, the addition of extra MacGuffins is a smart move by screenwriter Scafaria and Ari Graynor absolutely steals the show as Caroline.

It's a movie for our times and maybe a sign that despite the turbulence in the air, sweetness prevails in American Teenland.

Although the plot and the lead characters have enough charm to spread over the 90-minute runtime, the supporting roles and comic relief are often repetitive and dry.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 28, 2020

A perfect date flick for young adults.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 18, 2020

As romantic comedies go, Nick and Norah actually manages to hit both the emotion and the humour on the head.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2019

Because this is just another romantic comedy, given a youth-audience spin, there's nothing much going on. It's got the standard slovenly agenda of shoving the two hetero leads together because they've always gotten shoved together...

| Oct 31, 2018

[Kat Dennings] imbued the character [of Norah]-a role that could have very easily waded into stock character territory-with an achingly poetic depth and explosive comedic bite.

Even if the bare-bones story strums at cliche like a three-chord riff, these two innocent old souls seem utterly original.

What makes the film so endearing is its genuine plausibility.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 22, 2016

An American teen movie that manages to be cool and smart and also sweet.

| Sep 7, 2013

Think of it as Superbad without the booze or Juno without the snarky dialogue.

I don't know about you all but I think this is a welcome change from pensises in pies and boob gags - I hope the trend continues.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 14, 2011

As a glimpse inside the wide-eyed world of the teenager, it is the best John Hughes film that John Hughes never made.
