Review
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) is a quirky, campy film based on the Scott Pilgrim comic book series. It tells the story of Scott Pilgrim, a fairly unremarkable 22-year-old Canadian man in a mediocre band, and his experience courting Ramona Flowers, a woman from New York whom he meets. For some reason that wasn't fully explained in the film, in order for Scott to officially become her boyfriend, he must first battle and defeat her "seven evil exes."

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the film is its depiction of what the real world might be like if it contained elements of video games and comic books.

Although there were some unique story elements and a plethora of big-name actors (including Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, and more), overall the entertainment value felt only slightly above average. Fans of the Scott Pilgrim comics will presumably understand more references and enjoy the movie more than other viewers.

MPAA Rating
