Why you should go to the movies

Have you ever played a video game? Been in love? Met your significant others ex? Been in a fight? Killed a vegan?

If you said “yes” to any of the above, then you need to see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Here’s how it goes:

Scott Pilgrim is a normal dude, living a normal life and then he meets the girl of his dreams. But of course, she has some serious baggage – in the form of 7 evil exes. He has to defeat each one in order to date her and win her love.

Aww…

…yeah, not as adorable as it sounds. The movie is funny, witty and feels like a video game. Each ex is essentially another level in the game and each is harder to defeat. And of course there is a “boss level” at the end. There are some fun animation effects throughout the film and instead of taking away from the experience they draw you in and make you laugh out loud – literally. The movie has a strong style and a fast pace and tons of tiny details that you might miss if you’re not paying attention. If you’ve read the comics, then you know how everything ends, and if you haven’t, then no worries; I’m not going to tell you!
