Scott Pilgrim vs The World

A- (For geeks and punks)
D (For hipsters and mainstream)
Overall good date flick or geeks and punks, bad date flick for Hipsters and mainstream.

This one was a tough one to rate. It's about a geeky bass guitarist chasing after his dream girl., however in order to date her he must defeat her 7 evil exes. The plot and action sequences closely resemble a video game more then real life. So things can feel a little trippy at times. But, it's really well done for what it is and the comedic timing is excellent. The "Is Scott Here?" "No" scene alone is worth watching the movie for. The sound track also gets high marks with great artists contributing.
If you are bringing a girl who could be wearing a T-Shirt "I 8> Geeks" or actually knows who The Clash is then this is a perfect choice. But if the lady is into Burberry handbags or fist pumping then avoid this at all costs.
For guys the action sequences, while ridiculous, are pretty fun to watch and there are enough of them to get you through to the end.
The post movie wrap up will be lengthy for geeks and punks, but will be limited to "What the Hell was that?" by Hipsters and mainstream. Overall good date flick or geeks and punks, bad date click for Hipsters and mainstream.
