Scott Pilgrim Versus the World (2010)

Adapted from a comic series, Scott Pilgrim Versus the World is like some spastic video game & sugar high. Michael Cera plays the hero, if you haven't been digging his comedy talent so far then this movie isn't going to change anything but that would be a shame. Be ashamed. He is persuasive as a goofy geek in his early 20's who has to defeat his new lady's seven evil exes. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is well cast as Scott's object of desire Ramona Flowers, who he has to knuckle on for against an array of ex-partner douches ( An ex is a douche by definition? Yes?).
Edgar Wright directed this, he is also been responsible for 'Shaun of the Dead' (2004) and 'Hot Fuzz' (2007). The guy apparently knows how to direct a comedy. The banter between the characters is fast and self aware and the bursts of action are a 13 year old boy's wet dream. Dazzling special effects are a major component of achieving the 'life is a comic book/video game' feel.   

Fight for her love Scott! Fight for her!!

Certain moments seemed a little cheesy or pointless and seven exes to bust through did seem to take a while as the film's style and energy starts to wear you down.
I definitely enjoyed watching this and recommend seeing it but once sobering up from the brain melting graphics and sugar encrusted breakfast cereal-esque high, I came over with a little Scott Pilgrim regret, only a little though. 
3.5/5
