Ramona Flowers
Why watch this?
There is not a second in this film that I don't love.
Plot Summary:
Scott Pilgrim, a slacker musician living in Toronto, finds his
comfortable life disrupted when he falls for the mysterious and
enigmatic Ramona Flowers. To win her heart, however, he must
defeat her seven evil exes, each with their own unique abilities
and personalities. This journey forces Scott to confront his own
flaws, past relationships, and insecurities, ultimately pushing
him toward self-discovery.
Dad's Preview:
I had sorta lost faith in the next generation of movies; maybe I
was getting old and out of touch. Then I discovered Scott Pilgrim,
and my faith was restored! Nestled sweetly within this video game of a story
is a
very fresh and interesting romance. It's so much fun! The
lovingly odd Michael Cera is an amazing understated actor. I love the
action, the songs (watch a video of all
All
Scott Pilgrim musical performances), the premise, its
creativity - EVERYTHING!
