Scott Pillgrim vs the World
The story tells of a 26-year-old guitarist, Scott Bellgrim, a 23-year-old unemployed guitarist in the jazz band. It seems to be on date with a 17-year-old girl in high school, Chau Knives. In the end, the young man finds himself in a powerful battle. In order to win her heart, Scott must defeat her seven evil ex-friends, a task that seems very difficult.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World becomes a fatal case of flash over substance. Pretty great flash, though.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is refreshing, unique, wildly entertaining and consistently funny. I haven't had this much fun while watching a movie in a long, long time.

You need to take a step back to see the emotional heart of the story, an allegory of a generation struggling to exchange the solipsistic Xbox triumphs for awkward real-world love and empathy.

While there have been numerous attempts by Hollywood to cash in on the popularity of video games, none of those films has felt true to the artistic and creative spirit of those games until now. This one gets it right.

Scott Pilgrim VS The World is a great action comedy with an interesting look at romance and teen culture; the humorous tone of the film masks a much darker look at romance.
