Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Michael Cera is Scott Pilgrim, a young slacker and bassist for a rubbish garage band called Sex Bob-omb. He's in love with the rollerblading Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Grindhouse, Deathproof). To win her, Scott must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends who in turn all want to kill him. These boyfriends include a skateboarder, a vegan rock star and a pair of fearsome identical twins. The fantastic cast also includes Kieran Culkin, Jason Schwartzman, Brandon Routh (Superman) and Anna Kendrick (Up In The Air).
This is a comic book adaptation and is Edgar Wright's third film after Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

Scott Pilgrim, 22, loves Ramona Flowers. However, if he is to date her, he must defeat her seven evil exes. Edgar Wright delivers a two hour sonic boom of pop-culture 8-bit hipsterism, smashing every genre in its wake. The dialog is crammed full of with wit and charm. The quick-fire editing is relentlessly sublime. Every performance is delivered with...
Comic led to Arcade game finally reaches movie!
The movie layout was very enjoyable but maybe not somthing my older relatives/ family member would enjoy. However unlike all the other "trolls" bagging on the movie its filming is very close to what the comic was actually like not to mention the arcade game!

pressw00t! Edgar Wright levels up with a fun, fizzy beat-‘em-up that’s part action, part comedy and all geek.
The New York Times
pressIts speedy, funny, happy-sad spirit is so infectious that the movie makes you feel at home in its world even if the landscape is, at first glance, unfamiliar.
Rolling Stone
pressScott Pilgrim is a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart.

pressIt’s heartfelt, hilarious and a highly satisfying adaptation of the book. You don’t have to be a geek to adore it; you just have to remember being young. But one word of caution: Hollywood, don’t try to make a hundred of these. It won’t work.

pressAdorable Michael Cera with his puppydog eyes, lends Scott Pilgrim (who is actually a bit of a dick), some much needed sympathy, but he's not entirely likeable. It's true that Scott's girlfriends - past and present - are too good for him, but then, isn't that true of most relationships?
