  Bank of Dave 2023

  ½ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  Abominable, saccharine and cynical in equal measure. Piers Ashworth should be flayed for writing this.

  Scott Pilgrim Takes Off 2023

  ★★½ Watched 22 Nov 2023

  The point of the 7 Evil Exes in the original work was that they were ostensibly cool people who were actually losers for being hung up on this one relationship from college/earlier. By focusing on their "wacky" and "charming" "quirks" like enjoying anime or being closeted, that basic contradiction is completely lost.
  O'Malley's style is pretty as ever here (although there's some awkward 3D fights) and the cast provide a good enough performance.
