The Fall movie season is starting to heat up, and on deck this week is the Michael Cera comedy "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" due October 3.Cera, known for his roles in "Juno", "Superbad" and the cult favorite television series "Arrested Development", once again shows us why moviegoers love the young actor.
Michael Cera plays high school student Nick O'Leary, a member of the Queercore band "The Jerk Offs", who meets Norah Silverberg (Kat Dennings), and she asks him to be her boyfriend for five minutes while Nick is still getting over his recent breakup with his one true love Tris.
But everything falls apart when Nick sees Tris out and about with another man.
How could she have moved on so fast?
Nick, in a desperate attempt to show Tris he's moved on also, turns to Norah and asks her to be his five-minute girlfriend. This begins the night of Nick, Norah and Manhattan, which consists of stripping nuns, hotel ice rooms, Russian food, psychotic ex-boyfriends and lovingly trashy ex-girlfriends. It's the night of Julio and Salvatore, holding hands and writing songs and singing in the rain.
It's a night they'll never forget - but wish they could.
Michael Cera told reporters at the movie premier,
"It's not a teen film. The movie is really about that vibe you have when you meet someone great on one night and then run the risk of losing him or her forever.
Just don't dig too deep when it comes to the grand meaning of it all.
It's not something I've personally gone through or a fantasy for me, it's just the story, you know - just the way the script was written."

Cera will also be seen next year in the Harold Ramis adventure comedy "Year One", starring Cera and Jack Black. Cera will play a man in the biblical age, where after a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers (Black and Cera) are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.
Cera is currently filming the romantic comedy "Youth in Revolt" due in April, where he plays the character Nick Twisp. The film revolves around Nick, a 14-year-old boy whose trailer trash parents are teetering on the edge of divorce. Nick sets his sights on his dream girl Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), hoping that she'll be the one to take away his virginity.
