Synopsis

As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.

kharden-44225 Edgar Wright knocks it out of the park yet again, with a lovable movie full of incredible acting and comedic timing. Stand out performances being Kieran Culkin, and Michael Cera. The story is great, predictability is thrown out of the window with unexpected dialogue and twists. However, no movie is without their issues, such as some of the pacing feels a bit fast and rushed at points, and the fifth and sixth exes were brushed past very fast, and used as a way to show Gideon rather than being two of the menacing exes that Scott must defeat.
olwensmash Every time I watch this wtf rom com I laugh my ass off
tonybaird-75148 Absolutely enjoyed this film from top to bottom. Acting was remarkable as was the story line. I have had a crush on Ellen Wong ever since I saw this movie, she is the most adorable/pretty/gorgeous woman in film today. Also had my favorite Culkin in it.
Rupert Munn There's just - just - enough to this film to keep you watching, but no more. Visually, it is interesting. In fact, the inventive mixture of comic-book, video game and live action is the film's biggest plus. I particularly appreciated the fact that there was no attempt to confine the vivacity of the world to any tedious real-world logic. It is over-the-top, it is impossible, it works. Unfortunately, the settings and the generic urban colour palettes are just a bit too blank, sapping some of the character from the scenes. There are also a handful of good laughs, although much of the humour didn't really fly with me. I could, however, appreciate the artistry of it - it was well-written, just not to my taste. Unfortunately, there's not much else to commend. I am not familiar with the original story, but the film's adaptation of it is paper-thin. There is so little in the way of nuance, and it feels very one-paced. The middle hour of the film made absolutely no impression on my perception of the characters, and the formula quickly became tedious and repetitive, meaning that the ending, devoid of all tension by what precedes it, was a damp squib. This is at least in part down to the emptiness of the characters. A simple story can be mightily effective with some charismatic leads, but they're just so dull. The band are soulless, the exes might as well all be the same person for all the scope they're allowed, Michael Cera sleepwalks through playing himself as usual, and Ramona is a husk of utterly conventional unconventionality. The only one who I developed any interest in was Knives. All in all, a bit of a disappointment - an interesting experiment let down by an uninspiring story and a strange lack of spark.
