I originally had no intention of seeing this movie, but I saw it anyway! Michael Cera once again plays a nerdy guy, but this time around that nerdy guy is Scott Pilgrim. Let me start off by saying that this movie kind of takes place in a video game type of world. At leasts that's how I interpreted it! Anyway, Scott Pilgrim plays the bass guitar in a band called "Sex Bob-omb!" When the movie begins he is dating a high school girl named Knives, but the relationship ends when he meets a girl named Ramona Flowers. The two of them awkwardly fall in love, but somehow they wind up in bed together on their first date! Unfortunately, if Scott wants to continue dating Ramona he must defeat her "Seven Evil Exes!" The movie is of course cheesy, but the whole "Seven Evil Exes" thing makes it even cheesier. Like I said though, it's like a video game, so I guess defeating the "Seven Evil Exes" is how someone would win. There are only a few well known actors, or at least a few that I know well. Michael Cera can of course play the geek, but I'm definitely ready to see him do something else. Anna Kendrick did well in a small role as Scott Pilgrim's sister. Chris Evans played one of the "Evil Exes," and was probably my favorite of the seven. The actor who stole the movie though was Kieran Culkin. He played Scott Pilgrim's gay roommate and was hilarious! One last thing I want to mention is that the movie was very well edited. This film certainly won't be for everyone, but to be honest, I kind of enjoyed it!
