Edgar Wright's visually jam-packed screen adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novel has become a cult classic in its own right and is now finding a whole new generation of fans as the hit Netflix series SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF… takes off! Twentysomething slacker Scott (Michael Cera) lives with his roommate in a basement apartment in Toronto where he plays in the marginally successful local garage band Sex Bob-Omb. One day the girl of his dreams (literally), Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), skates onto the scene to deliver him an Amazon package. But in order to win Ramona's affection, he will have to defeat her seven deadly exes, videogame style. DIR/SCR/PROD Edgar Wright; SCR Michael Bacall, from graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley; PROD Eric Gitter, Nira Park, Marc Platt. U.S./UK/Canada/Japan, 2010, color, 112 min. RATED PG-13
