Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World | 2010 | 12A | Dir. Edgar Wright | US | 101 mins | IMDb 7.5

Wallowing in self-pity some 400 days since his big break up, and much to the disappointment of his friends, Scott Pilgrim has thrust himself into a questionably age-gapped relationship with Knives Chau. His commitment to his rebound waivers, particularly when he dreams of a mysterious, bright haired, roller skater who he becomes completely smitten with. Ramona Flowers, the girl in question, is warm to Scott’s advances but has a past of her own which he must take head on if they’re going to make a proper go of things.

Adapted from a serious of six graphic novels, Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz) plunges his audience into a hyper-stylised world, full of dry humour and many a meta gag. With a now recognisably stacked cast, many of whom were about to get their big break, Scott Pilgrim swaps out traditional musical numbers and dance sequences for 8-bit fight scenes that feel straight out of the source material. Initially marketed as a teen-romance, the film did poorly at the box office but has since become a cult classic- one that is hilarious and great fun from start to finish.
