Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

Rating: 4/5 stars
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Michael Cera is awkwardly cute. :)

As I expected, the movie was very much like Juno. The feel, the look, the actor, the acting...

The gay bandmates were such scenestealers.

What makes the movie so charming is the plot. It's an emo-kid fairytale-- ordinary looking celebrity daughter finds silent rockband member-boy, falls in love but must overcome some obstacles before that, i.e., getting over the ex and ending a pseudo relationship.

Good soundtrack. Might download it sometime. (legally?)

QQ: "The world's been broken to pieces and it's our job to find them and put them back together again." "Maybe we're not supposed to find the pieces, maybe we are the pieces."

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Rating: 3/5 stars
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Watched this movie belatedly, as this was in the theaters around summer last year.

Jason Segel (Marshall in How I Met Your Mother) apparently wrote the movie. It's a funny movie, but it's all too familiar, i think i've watched it on tv somewhere (where did he star again?), otherwise, there are too much episodes like this in real life. I guess when your watching as a third (uninterested) person, getting over someone would be really funny. There's some frontal nudity if that would be a plus...but i guess it wasn't haha.

Kirsten Bell (Veronica Mars) is just too cute in the movie, effective for the role too, the all-over-her-head ex-girlfriend. Mila Kunis, cute and all but honestly, she should stick to That 70s show (like the rest of the cast who never really made it beyond the show) and voice-ing for Family Guy. Russel Brand steals the show though.

3 stars because (1) i like "Marshall" by default (2) the setting is in Hawaii and (3) witty humor. If it weren't for those things i would not have even finished the movie.
