Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
An epic of epic epicness.
As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.

What kind of watch this is
Edgar Wright directs this 2010 comedy with the precision of a video game and the heart of a rom-com. The tone is loud, fast, and unapologetic, treating emotional vulnerability like a boss fight that requires a specific cheat code. It is a film that understands its own absurdity, which is a rare and necessary skill for a movie about a bassist whose main conflict is interpersonal rather than existential. The humor lands because the characters take their nonsense seriously, creating a strange, kinetic chemistry that rewards attention. It is essentially a love letter to digital culture, wrapped in a story about a man who needs to learn how to lose.
What the critics said
Critics generally enjoyed the ride. Rotten Tomatoes reports 83% positive reviews as of January 2026, with an average rating of 7.6/10. Metacritic sits at 69/100, a number that suggests generally favorable reception. A. O. Scott of The New York Times called it "the best video game movie ever," a high bar for any film to clear. Not everyone was sold on the pacing. Peter Debruge of Variety described it as "attention-deficit filmmaking," noting the script missed chances to deepen the romance.
How it did with audiences
The budget was $60 million. The worldwide take was $49 million. That is a loss by most accounting standards, though the United States portion of $33 million likely kept the lights on for a while. On TMDB, users rate it 7.5 out of 10.
