An article in the New York Times recommended it.
At first it seems puerile, for ‘tweeners, except for the bad language, and Michael Cera seems as if he’ll be unbearable as a self-absorbed emo type. The opening is a set-up, as the movie again and again shows its intelligence. It’s a classic romantic comedy, with Cera and an affecting Kate Dennings manage to deal with their own separate troubles while in the company of each other (how do they do this?) while finding their way to each other. The dialogue is funny, and the lovable-ness or hate-able-ness of the side-characters are funny. What mostly unites the two lovers is a passion for music of a convincingly, detailedly pure sort, making the movie a mixture of romance and idealism concerning something larger than just the characters themselves, and all of this goes on while the movie stays pleasingly light-handed. The New York City at night scenery and cinematography is a positive feature.
