movie review - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2018.01.18

This is a movie about a twentyish drop-out who meets a girl with some very strange dating requirements. Specifically, he has to defeat all of her exes in combat. It's even loopier than that sounds, but it's worth a watch. I enjoyed the frenetic weirdness and figured its being set in Toronto.

Recommended. For its off-beat plot, many quirky concepts, and the emotionally-satisfying story arc.
