I'll be very interested in reading CUFfers' opinions of this movie. We wanted to see a movie last night, and since our votes for Eat, Pray, Love and The Expendables cancelled each other's out, and we'd seen most everything else, we settled on Scott Pilgrim, knowing very little about the film, other than that it was directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) and that it starred Michael Cera.
We enjoyed it, but more because it gave us a glimpse of what appeals to a younger demographic. If you played video games in the early 90's, you'll likely find the movie hilarious. Quick, snappy dialogue with very clever graphics and editing, but I never started caring much for the characters, all of whom are a bunch of slackers, and the fight scenes became a bit tiresome. Rotten Tomatoes sets it at a lofty 80%, and my sense is Gen X and Y'ers will love it. But we're a bit over the hill and didn't fully appreciate what no doubt was a very nicely done film. Still, even for us AARP members, there were several LOL moments.
