You probably hit the nail on the head dude. Personally when I see a girl that dates violent angry jackass suitors usually dates at least one dork but half the time it's just a phase to date someone safe before being seduced by another jerk.Nurb said:I dunno... a girl with that many violent ex boyfriends (and girlfriend)?
Sounds like her emotional baggage would be the biggest foe to overcome than her exes! I mean, I just can't suspend by belief enough to not see Scott is the "safe" rebound placeholder for about 6 months.
Then he's going to be Ex #8 battling her next violent boyfriend.

However, I have to disagree with Bob's assessment of a "genuinely intelligent romantic comedy" I didn't really see anything other than "guy loves girl, has to fight for her against her 7 exes to gain her love", this seems rather caveman-ish to me, and not at all about real romance or the "human condition"
What? Did you go number 2 at the part where "Scott gained the power of self-respect!"? Alot of the reason scott does the fighting isn't entirely to gain ramona's love, but to mature, and grow as a character (which gaining the power of self-respect was a good metaphor...for).

Wow there sure is a lot of Michael Cera hate here, I know he isn't anything special, but I expected a lot more support for him since the site seems to really love Arrested Development (which he was great on)SpiderJerusalem said:Oh please, the first ten minutes of High Fidelity say more about life, love, relationships and meaningful pop-culture than Scott Pilgrim could ever even attempt to squeak out via the chinless apparition that is Michael Cera.
Would you say that the fact Scott Piglrim gets into a ton of fights and thus forcing Michael Cera to sell such fight scenes counts as a stretch for him? In order to prep for the roll Cera went through two months of intense combat training by Team Jackie Chan and is in many different types of fight scenes (one on one, wire-fu, multiple people, sword fights) and has come out of it with a really killer moves. I for one was amazed when I saw his Tae Kwan Do style roundhouse kick. What I'm trying to say is that in non of his previous roles did Michael Cera required so much physicality as Scott Pilgrim did.MasochisticMuse said:Hahaha - no.

So it really was him and not a stunt-double? Damn that's awesome.G-Force said:Would you say that the fact Scott Piglrim gets into a ton of fights and thus forcing Michael Cera to sell such fight scenes counts as a stretch for him?

That was excellent yes! LOL and how he fries "Crash and the boys (and girl)"Jing the Bandit said:The movie was ridiculous, but that's entirely the point. My favorite part was Matthew Patel and his demon hipster chicks.
