(starting from the top: when harry met sally, 2 500 days of summer pictures and 2 juno pictures)i like indie quirky films. theyre just what im into. i do like other films like i watched sex and the city the other day and i loved it but indie films are just what i like best. so anyway i bought nick and noras inifinite playlist because it looked really indie and it has michael cera in who is just such an amazing actor and absolutely gorgeous. anyway, look i'll put it bluntly, it was dreadful. everything about it was dreadful i mean even a dreadful chick flick like the holiday was a better film. so let me explain why:
- firstly it is set over one night. thats never a good idea with a film. the only film where it kind of worked was kidulthood but its very rare for it to work and well in this film it was their biggest mistake. because it was set over one night nothing much really happened coz how much can happen in a night? i mean look at a film like 500 days of summer, i dont want to give anything away in case you havent watched it but but that film is set over a year and a half and when harry met sally is set over like 20 years or something ridiculous like that but i love it like that. its just the way a good film needs to be set for it to work.
- some of the characters are just really annoying. michael cera is amazing as usual and there are these 3 gay guys who were really cute and funny but everyone else was really really annoying and like the main female character just cant act. its really irritating. it irritates me to say this but actually all the girls in this film are bad actresses and just so boring. i guess you cant do much with a character when its only set over one night but still they were really rubbish and hurt my eyes to watch.
- sorry to bring kidulthood up again its just the only other film i can think of thats also only set over a day. so yeah in kidulthood so much happens in that day. i dont want to give away the whole film but if youve watched the film youll understand (btw if you havent see it then check it out now, its so brilliantly written and really honest about what its like to be a teenager in east london) nick and noras infinite playlist was just boring. i wa waiting for something to happen in the long 90 minutes it lasted and honestly nothing happened. it was just dreadfully written.
- and lastly, i was looking forward to a good soundtrack running through the film, well i was very disappointed. as well as nothing happening in the film, the soundtrack was crap as well. and that was the last straw
so anyone wanna buy it off me?!!
