A recipe for a good teen movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2010)

A hot girl, an average Joe, a bond between these two characters and things spinning around love all the time.
I've seen quite many movies that are mostly meant for the younger part of the audience. And yes, 90% of these movies include the ingredients that I have written above. Surprisingly, though, such movies are quite popular among teens (I'm not saying that this movie should not be seen by adults), even though we have all probably already seen loads of them.
What I probably liked the most about the movie, were the characters. They were picked out perfectly for this movie.
What disturbed me at this movie was the amount of video game stuff involved. Seriously, with every single ex that Scott was battling, there was some sort of special powers involved, and we've seen some sort of a battle as we would see it in 'Mortal Kombat'. Not to mention all the people turning into coins when being defeated. Probably that is because the movie is based on a comic book? Anyhow, leaving such stuff out of the movie would certainly raise my vote up to at least an eight.
Overally, it's definitely still a great movie, and I'm already looking to see a few more works of Edgar Wright.
