A film with hits and misses, Michael Cera continues his awkward guy shtick to good effect but there is little else to really suck you into this picture.
Nick is a down on his luck high school kid who is still trying to get over his ex-girlfriend, Tris, by constantly sending her mix tapes only to be tossed aside as she drags him along for the sake of her own vanity. What Nick and Tris don’t know is that Tris’ classmate Norah has been grabbing Nick’s mix tapes from the trash and quietly been falling for him simply through his mix tape music selections. All of their worlds collide as they all are on the hunt for a mysterious band, Where’s Fluffy?, that plants clues around town as to where they are going to play that night. Norah is out with her friend Caroline, who happens to also be friends with Tris, and Nick heads out with Thom and Dev, his gay band mates who are desperately trying to get Nick over the “evil” Tris and find a new girl for him. As they head out on the town, Nick, who was not easy to get out in the first place, almost immediately wants to go home after seeing Tris with a new guy at his bands show. Thom and Dev get him to stay out by pairing him up with Norah, who they randomly met up with and approve of, to find, Where’s Fluffy?, as they take Caroline, who is already a drunken mess, home. As the search for, Where’s Fluffy?, begins, Nick and Norah have some awkward bonding and begin on a one night adventure where they may or may not find love. [Read more...]
