“Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” or “Michael Cera vs. a Hair Cut”-my fuckin review

Ok so I didn’t know anything about the comic books to “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World“, all I knew about is what was in the trailer. I can’t lie, when I first watched the trailer and saw that Michael Cera was in this movie I wanted to hate it. Only because Michael Cera is playing that same awkward guy who wears jeans, is a smart ass, and yet somehow gets the girl kind of character.  I did still want to see it because of the other crazy characters in the trailer. That being said I did love this movie, and it was a lot of fun. The story is about this awkward (see I told you) dude named Scott Pilgrim who is in a band. He meets this hot girl and to date her he has to fight her seven ex’s. They are all evil and have super powers. There are a lot of fight scenes (video game style) which I loved.  The music (the rock jams and the score) in the film is pretty fun too. I love films with over-the-top characters in it, their clothes, their personalities, and their dialogue. The more over the top the better. This film is filled with those type of characters. The story flowed and the dialogue, as whole, was pretty funny.

In a nutshell this movie is a lot of fun and entertaining, and sort of snuck up on me. I expected to be “whatever”, but instead I said “How clever”.  So go see that shit bitch, it is one of the better films I have seen this whole year. I will even go this far, this movie is a generational film, much like “Breakfast Club”, “Heathers”, “Clueless” etc. A sort of staple in time of what youth was like in the year the film came out.
