Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Graphic novel turned movie.  Sometimes I cringe...other times, the prospect is appealing.  This go around there was certainly some hype among my friends.  I had high expectations and they were completely met and surpassed.  In fact I'd go so far as to say Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World went ahead and smashed my preconceived notions of what teen comedy had become in the year 2010.  It was side-achingly witty with spot on timing from its young cast.  The editorial was a character in and of itself with the aide of some delightful animation and illustration that popped the story off the screen.  What I found most surprising and refreshing was how incredibly funny the movie was without settling for the lowest common denominator for the usual teen-fare (or any comedy for that matter) - immature 2nd grade potty humor.  Instead it relied on a solid comedic script and brilliant performances evoked by director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead).  This film is incredibly fun, smart and speedy.  It seems like several viewings are a must to get all the jokes going on. 

See it for sure.  Trailer here!
