Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)

This is the live-action version of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, literally. Director Edgar Wright seems to have used the comic as a literal storyboard and matched the scenes exactly.

The story centers around geeky Scott (Michael Cera) who falls in love with cool girl Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). The path to love is very rocky though. Scott must fighter her "seven evil exes" before the road to happiness is clear. There are lots of comic book, video game and Manga references & imagery through-out.

And our favorite character has to be Scott's roommate Wallace played by Kieran Culkin.

Available: Netflix, Amazon
