What did you think of the movie adaptation of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist ?

Granted, many movie adaptations are disappointing if you really loved the book they were based off of (and I really loved this one). The movie felt way too scripted, like they were trying to fit it into this idea of a teen movie, as opposed to the organic more "this could actually happen" feeling you get from the book. And I hated the way they twisted the integrity of the characters (Nick and Norah themselves most noticeably) for the film. They are much stronger and more interesting people in the book (I suspect this was done in some misguided attempt to heighten the dynamic). (less)
