Link: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Summary: In order to date the girl of his dreams, a young man must defeat her evil ex-boyfriends in this light-hearted ridiculous over-the-top comedy.
Thoughts: While I enjoyed the special effects, the video game references, and some of the humor, the film ultimately tried too hard to be funny at all times, and half-way through I felt like it had already jumped the shark on itself. It’s the sort of fast-paced gag humor that’s better in small doses. When you try to fill every scene with gag after gag, they just lose their effectiveness.
