Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010)
an review by Evan Landon
I'm not gonna lie; I honestly hated this movie when it came out. It was too cliché and a bit derivative because “WHAT IS THIS DUDE'S PROB??!”
I mean, he is completely hapless, has an oriental girl his own age, he is Michael Cera living on a mattress with a gay Kieran Culkin (who immediately kicks him out as soon as he gets some lovin), & falls for a scenester chick who hates him & has a lotta baggage?! Idk. Then he has to defeat all of her “evil ex’s”.
Let us count the “The Ex-BF Guild” who in turn gets F’d in the B (a line from the movie itself)-
pirate flippy guy
not Superman
vegan Captain America
bi-furious
Chinese Twins...?
the other Chinese twin
MAIN BOSS: Jason Schwartzman. Fucking Rushmore is your final boss. How can you even hate him?!
I honestly stopped caring as soon as I realized KNIVES was the real hero here & you cannot tell me otherwise (also, Ellen Wong, I <3 you hmu ;). Somewhat unknowns at the time Anna Kendrick & Aubrey Plaza also round out an awesome supporting cast, so that is a plus! This was before Edgar Wright got huge, so it is sort of nice to see some of his earlier shit. The effects hold up tho.
2.5 out of 5
