Review: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (Spoiler: the audience wins)

If you like video games, you're going to love Scott Pilgrim.

If you like comic books, you're going to love Scott Pilgrim.

If you're a child of the 80's, you're going to love Scott Pilgrim.

And in all of those cases, you're probably going to look at your own life through a bittersweet lens after the credits roll. This review doesn't have any big spoilers, but it looks deep into the movie's themes, so buckle up.

On the surface, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (based on graphic novel series of the same name) is an action-comedy-romance with heavy use of video game references and effects. Imagine if Kevin Smith (at least, Kevin Smith in the 90's) teamed up with Suda 51 to make a romantic comedy. You probably caught the gist of the film through the commercials and the trailer: Toronto resident and career slacker Scott Pilgrim has to fight seven evil exes to be able to date the girl he's fallen in love with. That's pretty much the concept.
