Scott Pilgrim’s life is so awesome. He’s 23 years old, in a rock band, “between jobs,” and dating a cute high school girl. Everything’s fantastic until a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, roller blading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. But the path to Ms. Flowers isn’t covered in rose petals. Ramona’s seven evil exes stand between Scott and true happiness. Can Scott beat the bad guys and get the girl without turning his precious little life upside-down?

Director

Edgar Wright

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English film and television director and writer. He is most famous for his work with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost on the films Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and TV series Spaced.

Wright was born in Poole, Dorset. He started directing his own films at the age of 14 when he was attending The Blue School, Wells, Somerset and working at the local tourist attraction Wookey Hole Caves. At the age of 20 he made a spoof western, A Fistful of Fingers, which was picked up for a limited theatrical release and broadcast on the British satellite TV channel Sky Movies. He then directed a number of television comedy programmes for the UK’s Paramount Comedy channel and the BBC, including Sir Bernard’s Stately Homes and Asylum, during the production of which he met writer-actors Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes.

In 1999 he joined Pegg and Hynes to create Spaced for Channel 4. Wright gave Spaced an unusual look for the sitcom genre, with dramatic… read more

In 1999 he joined Pegg and Hynes to create Spaced for Channel 4. Wright gave Spaced an unusual look for the sitcom genre, with dramatic camera angles and movement borrowed from the visual language of science fiction and horror films. Instead of shying away from these influences Wright makes an active effort to show his referencing, adding a ‘Homage-O-Meter’ to all of his releases, a device that displays each directorial nod he has made during shooting. In 2002, he made appearances as a scientist and a technician named Eddie Yorque during both series of Look Around You, a BBC programme created by a member of the Spaced cast, Peter Serafinowicz. He also made a brief appearance in Spaced, in which he can be seen, along with other crew members on the series, lying asleep in Daisy Steiner’s squat as she prepares to leave for her new house.

The critical success of Spaced paved the way for Wright and Pegg to move to the big screen with Shaun of the Dead, a zombie comedy which mixed a “Brit flick” romantic comedy style with homages to the horror classics of George A. Romero and Sam Raimi. The pair wrote a comedy action thriller, Hot Fuzz. Production started in March 2006 and the film was released in February 2007 in the UK and April 2007 in the US. It revolves around Pegg’s character, Nicholas Angel, a police officer who is transferred from London to rural Sandford, where grisly events soon take place. —wikipedia

I want to strangle Scott Pilgrim. Obnoxious movie based on an obnoxious comic book. Disappointed in Edgar Wright as I loved Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. This one though...it makes my stomach turn.

Funniest. Coolest. Comic-like movie I ever seen.

I'm going to be honest: i don't get this movie. 1 - scott pilgrim is the biggest loser ever conceived. 2 - why does everything turn into a videogame? of course it's scott's mind but why the waste of CGI if it doesn't help the story? 3 - why defeat your ex boyfriends, get over it! 4 - the ending is crap because it has no moral, and that's what I despise in this movie. I really don't get this, can anyone explain to me?

1 - he's a anti-hero, you don't have to be a winner at everything to be a good lead protagonist, and it's a comedy, so it's funny that he's a loser, makes other geeks relate to him 2 - HE IS A GAMER! that's the way he sees things, and of course the CGI doesn't help the story, it's for aesthetics porpuses, to give this movie a unique look (AND IT'S A COMIC BOOK ADAPTATION, and theres two things about comic adaptations, one - you go for a real atmosphere with real people (The Dark Knight) or two - you go for a comic-pop-funny-teenager feel, like the COMIC BOOK!!) 3 - they're not Scott's ex-boyfriends, they're Ramona's... and it's a geek methapor, it's like a geek's dream come true, it's an homage to old beat-em-up arcade games (like I said before, that's the mood or look that movie wants) 4 - first - it's not the movie's fault, that was the way it was on the books; second - why does everything ever made in movies needs to have a moral? we're not watching a victorian melodrama directed by D.W. Griffith sometimes you don't get punished for what you've done wrong (Herzog's Bad Lieutenant or Allen's Crimes and Misdemanors or Match Point), and sometimes you don't get rewarded for what you've done right (i'm not remembering any movie to quote right now) you are trying to analyse this movie, as something it's not

Not sure why I couldn't groove to this. All of the humor sort of fell flat, I suppose, and while all the whimsical visual style was fun, it certainly didn't make up for whatever it was that made this so meh-worthy. I didn't care for the comic, either. When it comes right down to it, I guess I just hate fun.

well, I see your point of view, but for me it just felt flat, idiotic and clumsy. maybe it's because i'm not a videogame guy, maybe it's because i prefer deeper movies, maybe it's because i wasn't in the mood, who knows?
