Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Movie Review:
So Universal should have a youth hit in the domestic market when the film opens next month. A wider audience among older or international viewers seems unlikely.
Scott Pilgrim — O’Malley flatters himself by borrowing the last name of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five” hero — is played by Michael Cera, Hollywood’s go-to guy for dewy-eyed male innocence that somehow isn’t cloying. Scott is a geeky kid in Toronto — check that, he’s a geeky twentysomething playing bass guitar in a talent-free garage band who should be getting on with his life instead of playing guitar and dating a high school girl.
Everyone from his younger, scandalized sister (Anna Kendrick) and weirdly gay roommate (Kieran Culkin) — weird not because he is gay but because Scott chooses to sleep in the same bed with him and “nothing” is going on — to fellow band members (Mark Webber and Alison Pill) wonders about that 17-year-old, Knives Chau (Ellen Wong), in his life.
Perhaps it has something to do with the devastation caused a year earlier when his ex (Brie Larson) broke his heart and, worse yet, became a rock star.
