Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Here's some advice for anyone going toe-to-toe with the world. First, pull its Greenland. Then, poke out its Ireland. Finally, kick it Down Under.
Oops! Apparently, the "world" in the title of this pop culture laden love story is a metaphor, and not an upcoming bout.
When loafer Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) falls for the unconventional Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), he must face-off against her ex-lovers (Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, Mae Whitman, Jason Schwartzman) if he hopes to court her.
Furthermore, Scott must win Battle of the Bands, and keep his budding romance from his current girlfriend (Ellen Wong).
An illustrious homage to the worlds of anime, gaming, and dating, Scott Pilgrim is a worthy adaptation of the graphic novel created by Canada's Bryan Lee O'Malley.
However, it's not surprising a Canuck would create such an iconic comic-book character, since that's the only thing that those people can read. (Green Light)
