Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Fast paced, electric, and witty Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" busts onto the silver screen with Michael Cera as the sweet (if not a bit naive and awkward) title character. Cera must defeat the seven evil exes of Ramona Flowers to win her hear, all while his band is attempts to get a record contract by wining the battle of the bands. Keiran Culkin shines as Scott's witty gay roommate. The first half progresses at such a pace that it could satisfy even the most ADD of viewers. The movie is different in many respects including its art direction. Audio cues, gaphics, and effects serve as a love letter to old-school video games. While I wished the final battles would have reached a more explosive climax I did not leave the theater disappointed or bored.

Grade: B+
