Cera & Dennings promoting Nick & Norah

TORONTO - SEPTEMBER 04: Actors Michael Cera and Kat Dennings visit MuchOnDemand to promote their new film 'Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist' on September 4, 2008 in Toronto, Canada.

"Holy truck you guys, George Michael Bluth (you may know him as Michael Cera) is going to be on MOD in an hour. Someone will have to hold me back from screaming "it's Mr. Manager!!" when he's answering a half serious question". Update!! Omg, he's so skinneh! What a cutie pie. He was here with Kat Dennings to promote Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist...

"Comedy's current wunderkind, Michael Cera, stars in another super-smart teen comedy with the cool-factor of an indie-rock music mix. Cera plays the perennially hapless Nick, hopelessly in love with his ex-girlfriend and anaesthetized when it comes to the idea of finding anyone else. His special talent is making killer mix CDs, the entire series of which has been dedicated to his unrequited love. When his bandmates secure their struggling indie-rock group a gig in the city, he is vaguely excited. A legendary band is playing a secret show on the same night, and the chance to see them is a good argument for getting out of the house. But he lucks out when, after his gig, he meets Norah (Kat Dennings), who is cute, hassled and equally dissatisfied with the world of relationships. Nick and Norah embark on a wild chase through New York City as they endeavour to track down the secret show, find Norah's walkabout friend Caroline (Ari Graynor) and placate Nick's over-excited mates.These young protagonists are middle-class and music-obsessed. The wry, smartly written script and savvy pop-culture references make this a great companion piece to the 2007 Festival hit Juno, while Nick and Norah's apathetic shtick recalls the hip ennui of Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World.

Cera's comic timing is impeccable. His delivery is as meek and mawkish as his George Michael Bluth days, and his chemistry with charming newcomer Dennings simply crackles with the awkwardness of adolescence. Sollett's underground eye gives New York City a beating heart, and his choice of music – and musical cameos – will have you trainspotting the indie-rock playlist".
