It's been three weeks, two days, and 23 hours since Tris broke up with Nick. And now here she is at his gig, with a new guy. How could she have moved on so fast? This begins the night of Nick, Norah and Manhattan. The night of stripping nuns, hotel ice rooms, Russian food, psychotic ex-boyfriends and lovingly trashy ex-girlfriends. It's the night of Julio and Salvatore. The night of holding hands and writing songs and singing in the rain. It's a night they'll never forget. Written by

When everyone finally finds "where's fluffy" (after the radio hint for 5th Avenue at 68th Street), and they are climbing to the roof of that address, the Empire State Building is shown towering above the rooftop and can be no more than a block or two away. In reality, the Empire State Building is more than 30 Blocks away from that address and would seem much more distant. The proximity of office buildings and their exit via Penn Station would lead one to believe that they were in the Midtown area likely between 8th avenue and 5th with and between 31st street and 35th - not the address mentioned on the radio hint.

Nick:
What are the benefits?
Norah:
Yeah, that's crossed my mind. I don't know. I don't know, he's just always been there, and you just fell ignored for long enough and, it's just nice to feel special, sometimes.

If they gave an Academy Award for Most Adorable Movie, this would definitely win. I'm NOT a teenager, so I'm certainly NOT the target audience for this movie. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the casting was perfect, the performances were delightful and the music was terrific. What more do you want from any romantic comedy, except for it to be funny and romantic? This qualifies. You're rooting for Nick and Norah, almost from the first frame. And all the supporting characters are wonderful. Also, there are some fun cameos, which gives the movie that Inside Baseball feel that makes it that much more of a hoot. I may even buy the DVD (which makes this a rave review!)
