The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Michael Cera's career continues to regress, helped along by poor movie choices, like this one. He was great in Arrested Development and Juno, both of which were excellent series/movies. Everything else has been mediocre, and this is the worst of the lot.Started off well enough, and I was imagining a John Hughes-like script unfolding. Unfortunately, it just drifted after a point, and resorted to gross-out and otherwise immature comedy. The romantic side seemed contrived, and most of the time didn't make sense.Ultimately, meaningless and boring. Avoid.

Nick (Michael Cera) is obsessively in love with Tris (Alexis Dziena). She rejects him utterly and shows up at Nick's band performance with another guy. Norah (Kat Dennings) knows Tris but have never met Nick even though she loves his music. So when Norah needs a fake boyfriend for 5 minutes to show off to Tris, she grabs Nick. What follows is a night of adventures to rescue Norah's drunken friend Caroline (Ari Graynor), search for a secret show of their favorite indie band in Manhattan, and escape from the jealous crazed ex Tris.Michael Cera and Kat Dennings didn't have the best chemistry at the start mostly due to his obsession with Tris. Luckily Ari Graynor was able to keep the movie going with her wacky drunk act. The group of actors seem to have a lot of fun. That fun is definitely transmitted onto the screen as great camaraderie. The movie is full of lovely moments, and great music. Cera and Dennings do have better chemistry as the movie goes on.

A couple meets under unusual circumstances on a night in New York, and embark upon a journey which changes the both of them for ever. It's a sweet enough story, but what lifts it from good to great is the cast.Stunning and sassy Kat Dennings and the instantly likable Michael Cera are down-to-earth enough to feel like regular, real people - an important trait in lead roles, given how invested in them we need to become - while the supporting cast is rife with delightfully over-the-top characters who offer some wonderful comedic moments.The plot centres on the duo's twin missions: to track down an elusive indie band's secret gig, and to relocate a drunk, missing friend. But the real journey is one of discovery - for Cera's character, to see how wrong his on-again off-again girlfriend is for him, and Dennings', to learn how to overcome her own feelings of inadequacy.These realisations come subtly in an understated manner which is nicely at odds to some of the overtly comical people they meet along the way (Andy Samberg in a very minor role instantly springs to mind - along with all manner of drag queens, bitter exes, profane musicians and a "Drunkzilla"). Against this backdrop, our heroes seem all the more relatable.There are moments of hilarity, and of real pathos; things we all recognise from our own youthful misadventures, and ones we know from our relationships. It's all played out by a well-capable cast, and boasts a top-notch soundtrack.This is indie at its finest.

The story is pretty simple, very lovely, quite teener-ish, but the movie is so well made, the characters are so real, the acting is great, and the music is just INCREDIBLE, that it transforms what could have been a dull movie into an amazing one!Michael Cera is an incredible actor and so is Kat Dennings. They play their insecure, fragile teenager's role like true pros; everything about them is completely authentic and absolutely believable, having subtleties that make you identify with them and feel what they are feeling.It contains no explicit sex, no violence, it's apt for young teenagers. I don't think kids will enjoy it. thumbs up for this movie, totally loved it.
