This cult favourite is the ultimate pop cultured film incorporating everything from rock music, video gaming and above all young love and relationships. It is however surprising how much it appears to have dated and I suppose this is mostly due to the very obviously antiquated video game theme that runs throughout the film. But it still is great fun or it may be as annoying as hell, it's hard to really say because it sort of tips you from one side to the other. There is no doubt though that director Edgar Wright has a unique vision of the High School romance genre with all the angst that comes with young love and the film has a great cast (Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brie Larson, Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza and others). This is still worth checking out especially if you've never seen it and an interesting film to revisit if it's been awhile. In short Scott (Cera) is a 22 year old drop out who plays in a rock band who are esperate to be discovered. But when he falls instantly for the sexy and moody Ramona (Winstead) he doesn't bank on having to fight her seven evil ex boyfriends to win her. A funny, fantasy film that has big fans but may just be past it's sell by date.
Maybe I am too old but this is a bit daft. I liked the querkiness but it was just too off the wall and at the same time boring.
