Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, based on the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The film is about Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), a young Canadian musician, meeting the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), an American delivery girl. In order to win Ramona, Scott learns that he must defeat Ramona's "seven evil exes", who are coming to kill him.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was planned as a film after the first volume of the comic was released. Wright became attached to the project and filming began in March 2009 in Toronto. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World premiered after a panel discussion at the San Diego Comic-Con International on July 22, 2010. It received a wide release in North America on August 13, 2010 in 2,818 theaters. The film finished fifth on its first weekend of release with a total of $10.5 million. The film received generally positive reviews by critics and fans of the graphic novel, but it failed to recoup its production budget during its release in theaters, grossing $31.5 million in North America and $16 million overseas. However, the film has fared better on home video, becoming the top-selling Blu-ray on Amazon.com during the first day it was available.
Runtime 112 mins Release Date Jul 27th 2010

It completely escapes me why Michael Cera keeps getting work. The guy isn't a bad actor, but he seems to be playing the same mild-mannered geek in ever single film. Pretty much every single character in this movie was perfectly cast and turned in a hilarious and engaging performance - except Cera. Odeon magazine even listed other geeky actors, which more or less read like a list of actors who would have been better as Scott Pilgrim; Jesse Eisenberg, Aaron Johnson... But anyway, that ill-tempered rant aside, this is probably one of the most faithful "comic-book" movies, in the sense that it keeps every "WHACK" and "SPLOOSH" effect and generally acts in an odd manner of psychotic abandon and anarchic senselessness. Thoroughly entertaining, despite minor gripes.
