A guilty pleasure

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2011)

A stylish visually enthralling film with one very silly story and even sillier characters makes this my guilty pleasure. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim who breaks up with underage high schooler Knives Chau(Ellen Wong) to be with Ramona Flowers(Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who has a tendency to change hair color every other day and who is also emotionally disassociated with anything or anybody. Well Ramona has baggage in the form of 7 evil ex-boyfriends who Scott must battle to the death with.
The movies strong points are good graphics with exceptional use of editing and cutting to intensify the film. The downside is that the films silliness sometimes threatens to smother this film into mediocrity Grade B+
