Description

As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.

    Usually the number of the beast is just “666” but for this loved-up lad, it’s the telephone number of his new girlfriend “Ramona” (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). “Scott” (Michael Cera) thinks they are kisses when she writes it out for him, but nope - it’s the number of her exes he is going to have to vanquish if he is to win and keep her heart. Meantime, this part-time rocker is having to gently let down her predecessor, the seventeen year old “Knives” (Ellen Wong) who has fallen for her older man - he’s 22 - big style as well as juggling his platonic bed-sharing arrangements with his gay best mate “Wallace” (Kieran Culkin) with whom he temporarily shares in what appears to be a bomb shelter. His battles are fought video game style, with points accrued and superpowers acquired as a collection of just about everyone from Chris Evans to Jason Schwartzman try to beat him into the next world. There’s a great soundtrack to support this, plenty of caustic wit from Culkin and Cera does the enthusiastically hapless geek really quite engagingly as this action-packed culture clashing comedy adventure hits the ground running and doesn’t really let up. It’s a bit cheesy at times, but avoids that coming-of-age sentimental nonsense as just about everyone gets a chance to get thrown around. What would you do for the love?

    **Confusing** I really enjoyed the artstyle and direction of scenes. The fights were well choreographed and the movied flowed really well. Based on those it would've scored a 8 or 9. However, the plot was confusing, convoluted, silly and it didn't allow me to get invested. Its meant to be a turn your brain off and enjoy kind of movie, but unfortunately I just couldn't get invested in what was going on. It seems very targetted at a early 2000s teen that grew up in the US, and unfortunately I'm clearly not their target audience or perhaps wasn't in the best mood when watching it.
