Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

Sollett's working with stale material, clearly. He genuinely likes people, though, and his fondness revives "Nick and Norah" and sets it spinning with camaraderie and hope.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

Lacks some of the idiocy of your average teenage rom-com. But it doesn't bring much to the party. It sort of ambles along, with two nice people at the center of a human scavenger hunt. It's not much of a film, but it sort gets you halfway there, like a Yugo.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

So much goes down on Nick and Norah's one enchanted evening that the best advice is to enjoy the ride -- the actual ride -- around this vibrant new New York.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Michael OrdonaAdd Critic to Favorites

It is a teen romantic comedy that largely fits the familiar template but is also fleshed out with atmosphere, a nice blend of broad goofiness and sophistication, and two appealing leads who bring it to life.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

Within the realm of a mildly good time.Read the full review

Slate | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

Regards its characters with affectionate detachment, and assures its audience that no great calamities or revelations are in store. Instead, there are a series of small crises and tiny epiphanies, all adding up to a story that courts triviality in its pursuit of charm.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Keith PhippsAdd Critic to Favorites

It's the journey that matters, however, and sometimes the film doesn't seem to know where it's going.Read the full review
