I got caught up on movies this weekend. I needed escape. The Other Guys was Great Fun. Eat Pray Love was thought provoking, but "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" Rocked! No, It really did! Scott Pilgrim is played by one of the funniest young actors, Michael Cera. He is a 20something that is a bass guitar player in a Indie-Rock Band called Sex Bob Boo. He has an ex-girl friend who is now a famous Rock Star, He is dating a High School girl named Knives, and meets the Girl of his dreams. Then the fun starts. The Movie is based on a comic book and instead of playing it for real the movie mixes live action with the words appearing when the phone rings (R-i-n-g) and the CRASH symbols. etc. Little boxes appear to explain back stories and the Movie is a mixture of crazy comedy, comic fights that defy reality, and just over the top fun. The Movie is PG13 but with no F word and actually no cursing until an S word near the end. Their is one character that curses like crazy but they put a black box over her mouth and also "bleep" her.
The story line is a combination Boy meets Girl, Battle of the Bands, and a Video Game complete with the score and advances to next rounds. Old People may not get it but every one under 30 or thinks under 30 (me) will love it.
I recommend this movie, and give it **** stars. An epic of epic epicness!
