Written and directed by Edgar Wright,
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is everything a favorite movie should be – inventive but familiar, surprising, rewarding and fun. It is a creatively conceived adaptation of a somewhat successful graphic novel about an indie band bassist (Michael Cera) who falls in love with a quirky loveable girl (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who comes – as most of us do – with baggage. Only this time, her baggage is in the form of seven evil exes transformed into videogame bad guys, all wrangled together by her King Koopa-like former love/current nemesis. And none of this seems particularly strange to anyone involved.
