USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

Though the movie rambles in the middle, it gets back on track when Nick and Norah have a sweet encounter in an unexpected place. The soundtrack is an excellent counterpoint to the film's quirky scenarios.Read the full review

Slate | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

So slight it's almost diaphanous--an hour after seeing it, what the movie leaves behind is not so much a memory as a mood. Still, it's a fine mood.Read the full review
