Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

Before anyone defends him in the comments: Scott Pilgrim is a bad boyfriend, and the movie mostly knows it but still lets him win. He’s 22, dating a high schooler and lining up his next girlfriend before ending things with her. Michael Cera plays him with that mumbly charm, which helps and also kinda doesn’t. Ramona gets more hair colors than personality traits. The rest is a sugar rush. Edgar Wright turns every fight into a video game level, sound effects pop up as words on screen, and the editing moves like someone is holding down the turbo button. Kieran Culkin’s roommate Wallace steals every scene with one raised eyebrow. Chris Evans as a skateboarding action star is a gift. It made $51.8 million worldwide on a reported budget of $60 million to $85 million, then lived forever on dorm room shelves anyway. An 8.0 because the style is so fun you forgive the guy at the center of it. $54.81 says you start ranking your exes like boss fights and stall out at level two.

What works: Edgar Wright’s comic book editing, the on-screen sound effects, and a supporting cast (Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Brandon Routh) having the time of their lives.

What doesn’t: Scott is selfish for most of the runtime, and Ramona is written as a goal to unlock rather than a person with her own story.

Who it’s for: Anyone who grew up with a controller in their hands and a band name picked out before they could play an instrument.
