One of the things that drew me to this film was the title, and the idea that I thought there would be some brilliant music throughout. This film wasn't bad, it was a decent way to kill a couple of hours, but I find myself comparing it to the vastly superior '5 Days of Summer' which I really enjoyed and found this to be less fun. I also had this impression that Michael Cera was one of the most annoying and irritating young actors of the present day, but he wasn't too bad in this. You actually strike up quite a bit of empathy for him after he is dumped by his horrible ( but typically popular) girlfriend Tris. He plays in a band with his best friends who are all gay ( and really very funny) and at a gig one night meets Norah an aquaintaince of Tris's who is at the gig purely to keep an eye on her thoroughly hopeless and drunk friend. So they strike up a bizarre friendship which gradually progresses, at the same time as being driven around the city by Nick's friends who are searching for their favourite band's secret concert that is being held somewhere..well.. secret. An okay film, although the fact that it's always the 'not very attractive' unpopular girl who wins the bloke's heart annoys me somewhat. There are girls out there that are nice-looking as well as kooky and interesting. As well it gives the impression that all girls who are attractive are as thick as too short planks.
