Audience Consensus

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 American romantic action comedy directed by Edgar Wright, based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novel series. Michael Cera stars as Scott Pilgrim, a slacker bass guitarist in Toronto who must defeat the seven evil exes of Ramona Flowers, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, in order to date her โ€” with each battle escalating in video game-inspired absurdity from simple fistfights to elaborate boss battles with points, power-ups, and extra lives. Edgar Wright created one of the most visually inventive comedies in cinema history, seamlessly blending live-action filmmaking with comic book visual language and video game aesthetics โ€” sound effects appear as on-screen text, characters earn coins when defeated, split screens and speed lines punctuate action sequences, and scene transitions mimic comic book panels.

The ensemble cast, including Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, and Brandon Routh as various exes, was an extraordinary assembly of talent that reads in hindsight as a who's who of future stars. Scott Pilgrim earned only $47 million worldwide on a $60 million budget, a commercial failure that has since become one of the most celebrated cult films of its decade, with its influence visible across video games, animation, and comedy filmmaking.
