Michael Cera in "Michael Cera Gets with a Chick out of His League 3"



Yep, that's right. Michael Cera is doing what he does best yet again - playing an incredibly uninteresting teenager that may or may not be a reflection of his equally uninteresting self. That undeniable quirk, the whiny whisper of a voice, his unique "I know you're not buying this" swagger - that Michael Cera is something, is he not? Someone hand him an Oscar already! Or at least hand him a bigger paycheck because anyone who can get audiences to hawk over big bucks to see him recycle the same character in each of his movies is certainly a keeper - just look at Chris Tucker!

Regardless, "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" appears to be the movie that showed up late to the quirky-teen-film party. Theater audiences will be split between those who should be arrested for being too old to be Miley Cyrus fans and retro fashionistas who will marvel at Michael Cera's ability to pull off the hooded sweater with such grace and humility - and they'll all wonder why Juno isn't in the sequel to her own movie.

Bold Prediction: "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" comes up just short in the "Boy and Girl With Plot Device" film race, losing to "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" by a nose... or some other unmentionable body part.
