Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010) 8/10

Starring : Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Ellen Wong
Director : Edgar Wright
Running Time : 113 mins

Scott Pilgrim (Cera) is an average guy in a band that aspires to greatest. When he meets Ramona Flowers (Winstead), he decides to break up with his high-school girlfriend Knives Chau (Wong) in order to ask Ramona out, but first Scott must contend with her seven ex-boyfriends, all of whom seem to possess amazing mystical powers!

I went into this not expecting to enjoy it after hearing some terrible reviews, mainly concerning Michael Cera’s acting ability, but I actually enjoyed this immensely. The simple, silly plotline made this an enjoyable romp, though I really couldn’t see what Scott saw in Ramona (and vice versa). Well worth watching if you enjoy comic-book style action and light-hearted comedy.
