Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
A bass guitarist battles an army of ex-boyfriends in a whimsical, high-octane, and darkly comic romance.
As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.
How intense is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World?
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has light gore and strong violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is relentless, and it is a full-attention watch and a late-night trip. The humor runs absurdist and dry. Rated PG-13.
