The film that I
will be doing a review on is Scott Pilgrim Vs the World it came out in 2010 and
was directed by Edgar Wright and produced by Big Talk Films. The most known
actors in the film are Michael Cera and Chris Evans. The synopsis of the film
is that Scott Pilgrim must defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil exes so that
they can continue to date but all of her evil exes are much more powerful then
Scott Pilgrim . However this does not mean that is fits into the romance genre
the film is very much centered on comedy.
The film is set in
Toronto, Canada. In the opening scene Scott is introduced by a voice over
parodying Star Trek giving the setting of the film and saying that our hero of
the story is dating a seventeen year old Chinese high school girl called Knives
Chau. It then goes into the a house in which Scott does not live but he is
there with his friends Neil, Kim and Steven who are waiting for Knives to show
up.
A bit later on in
the film Scott and Knives go to Scott’s actual house where he lives with his
gay roommate Wallace. Scott goes into a
dream state where he sees his new love interest of which he does not know the
name of, he then goes to a party with his friends and meets the girl again and
he finds out her name is Ramona. After that he orders a parcel from Amazon in
order to see Ramona again.
After this his band
are invited to go to a battle of the bands battle against a band called Crash
and the Boys. Before he goes to the battle Ramona comes to his door with the
package and he asks her to hang out with him because he has lives in Toronto
all his life and Ramona has just moved here. They become close and technically
dating and he invites him to his battle of the bands battle. In which Ramona
and Knives show up so Scott decides to knock out Knives so that he doesn't have to deal with the awkwardness of his know two girlfriends talking to each other.
During their song the first villain shows up and challenges Scott to a fight to
the death for Ramona’s love the villain says the he is from the league of evil
exes. Scott is unsure as to why he is fighting him.
After the fight
Scott learns from Ramona that in order for them to keep dating Scott must
defeat her seven evil exes Scott is confused as to why she doesn't just say her
seven evil ex-boyfriends. Scott goes with Wallace to see the production of a
film being made and of cause another evil ex is there.
