In Oscar-nominated "Juno," Cera won fans as an clumsy high-schooler who impregnates his someone — titled Juno (Ellen Page) — then stands by as she makes quirky and ofttimes queer decisions handling with her close delivery.

This instance around in "Nick and Norah," Cera is a player in a merry sway adornment whose lover dumps him. And after an mismatched ordered of circumstances, he ends up actuation an all-nighter with his girlfriend's competition (Norah) as they see for an subsurface adornment activity a info lance somewhere in Manhattan.
