“Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” is a fun if slight romantic comedy aimed squarely at the current MTV generation.
The ensemble piece attempts to mingle the teen angst of a John Hughes movie, the night-in-the-city misadventures of Martin Scorsese’s “After Hours,” and the wannabe-hip musical milieu of a sticky underground rock club. And as adapted by scripter Lorene Scafaria from the novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan and directed with some lags by Peter Sollett, it mostly succeeds in its modest ambitions.
