Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Edgar Wright, 2010)

9/10
Probably the best comedy I've seen in years...I was laughing pretty much non-stop. The story, the dialogue, the editing, the effects, everything is bang on and done with such earnestness and commitment, you'd have to have a heart of stone to not be won over. So good to see an American (Canadian?) made comedy that doesn't have to rely on swearing or dick and fart jokes to get a laugh. Just incredibly clever, incredibly aware, incredibly honest...and really fun. If you're having second thoughts because you don't like Michael Cera or the trailer looked stupid or whatever - don't. Just go.
