A Movie Reveiw: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

SO! I saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist two nights ago; it finally came out on DVD *squeeeeeeee* I've been wanting to see it for a while now. It's possibly my favorite movie of all time, so obviously I want into watching it with some pre-opinion on how it should go.

I'm happy to say i wasn't all that disappointed. I have this notion that books that are made into movies are never as good as the actual books but this one stood up to the test decently.

I loved the casting of Dev. He was my absolute favourite in the movie. I also liked Lethario; I don't know why because he didn't say a whole lot.
I was also really happy they kept the "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" scene mostly intact. It's a really cute scene.

On the other hand however I am very annoyed that they cut out Norah's monologue about Nick's Yugo. It was one of my favorite parts of the whole book. Another thing I'm not happy they cut was the kissing scene between Tris and Norah. I understand why they had to cut it, (aim at your largest viewing crowd and all that) but it was one of the parts of the book where I didn't think Tris was a complete bitch; in the movie since they cut that scene and the one where she and Norah are talking about Nick over a package of cookies, she seemed way too needy and indecisive.
