Michael Cera as Nick O'Leary

"It kind of evenly tells the story from both mine and Kat's point of view, so guys and girls will equally be able to relate to it, and that's how the book is too," says Michael Cera in an interview with MTV News. "It doesn't cater to one gender."

In one of two new movies Cera is working on (the other being "Year One," along side Jack Black) Cera plays Nick O' Leary - a high school rocker, who meets his on-screen counterpart while trying to avoid his ex-girlfriend. Nick asks Norah (played by Kat Dennings, best known as Catherine Keener's daughter in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin") to be his girlfriend for 5 minutes to avoid his ex, who just walked into his band's show with a new guy.
