This review was originally published on InterfaithFamily.com on Oct. 10, 2008. Also, in the interest of full disclosure, Jenny Rapaport of Lit Soup pointed out that Norah says “minion,” not “minyan,” as I claim. Oops.
About halfway through Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Norah (Kat Dennings) makes an offhand comment to Nick (Michael Cera) that left me floored–and probably made no impression on the rest of the audience. As they engage in an awkward tarry of flirt-and-retreat, flirt-and-retreat, they exchange information about their post-high school plans: Nick is going to Berklee School of Music in Boston, and Norah is going to Brown, 50 miles away in Providence, R.I. Her eyes staring at the floor, Norah mutters about their future proximity, "I really wouldn’t mind getting away from my minyan duties."
