Fun, novel, picture of our times

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2011)

A true multimedia spectacle, based on good old-fashioned human experiences (love, friendship, betrayal, angst, renewal), with a generous helping of what people of our generation will recognise: the Legend of Zelda tunes; bass and band battles; J-pop vs American rock; all the way to the Tania Chalkin "Kiss" poster adorning Wallace's wall...
With good natured humour on Canada, gays, actors and the shenanigans of romantic triangles between 20-year olds, this is a movie that should age well, even in this frenetic, rapidly superseded age of ours...
The main character could have been less dorky, but regardless, one life up, and thumbs up for the Scott Pilgrim experience.
