Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Director: Edgar Wright
Year: 2010
Stars: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Wanstead, Kieran Culkin, Ellen Wong
I saw this three days ago now, and I'm still not sure what I think of it. It's definitely unique, and very original.
Michael Cera is Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year old in a rock band who is currently going out with a 16-year old. But then he meets Ramona Flowers, and in order to be able to go out with her he has to defeat her seven evil exes.
Based on a comic book, the film does have a very comic-book feel to it. Although clearly set in the real world, a lot of things that happen don't make any sense at all in a truly "real" world (although they do in the context of the movie). If you're waiting for an explanation, you won't get one. But if you go in with an open mind, you may well love this. I think I do... probably.
Rating: 4 out of 5
