The biggest problem with "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" is that it stays well within the bounds of a normal teen rom-com. It doesn't go above and beyond, nor does it fail in creating a cutesy teen movie. It just was alright. The movie had the potential to be really great, even original, but settled with just being good.
Ben Stiller might not act in the greatest movies, but he sure knows how to write and direct them. With ‘Tropic Thunder', Stiller creates an explosive new comedy that's sure to blow anyone's socks off.
