Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe four cast members that made up the band "Sex Bob-Omb" spent several weeks learning how to play together as a band. Mark Webber, Alison Pill, and Johnny Simmons all had to learn their instruments from scratch, while Michael Cera had to "dumb down" his bass playing in order to not outshine his band mates.
- GoofsFinal Fantasy IV (1991) was released as Final Fantasy 4 in Japan but re-titled as Final Fantasy 2 in the United States and Canada, so Scott got the number right.
- Quotes
Scott Pilgrim: When I'm around you, I kind of feel like I'm on drugs. Not that I do drugs. Unless you do drugs, in which case I do them all the time. All of them.
- Crazy creditsWhen the cast is listed during the opening credits, the drawings in the background display little motifs related to the characters they play in the movie:
- Chris Evans: Lucas Lee's skateboards and the logo for his company
- Anna Kendrick: Coffee stains and wet mug marks (Stacey Pilgrim works at a coffee shop)
- Alison Pill: The words "one! two! three! four! (which Kim Pine typically yells to signal the start of a Sex Bob-Omb song) and the Sex-Bob-Omb logo
- Aubrey Plaza: Black squares (which are used to obscure Julie Powers' mouth whenever she curses)
- Brandon Routh: Bass guitars (Todd Ingram defeats Scott Pilgrim in a bass duel) and the number 3
- Jason Schwartzman: The three triangle symbol of Gideon Graves' company and a pair of glasses
- Ellen Wong: A pair of knives similar to those which Knives Chau uses in the final fight.
- Kieran Culkin: A cell phone status bar (Wallace Wells can text while sleeping)
- Johnny Simmons: Rectangles mimicking the design on Young Neil's shirt and his Nintendo DS
- Michael Cera: Scott Pilgrim's bass strings
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead: Three different shades of hair, denoting how many times Ramona changes hair color
- Brie Larson: Broken hearts denoting Envy Adams' cruelty to Scott
- Mark Webber: Stephen Stills' acoustic guitar.
- Mae Whitman: Four X's denoting Roxie Richter's position as evil ex number 4 and a razor blade denoting her razor whip
- Alternate versionsThe test screening showed at the end Scott getting back together with Knives Chau while Ramona continues to walk away. Scott and Knives walk away into the snow.

Featured review
I was lucky enough too see this film during a test preview to an audience that weren't told what we were about too see. I was honestly expecting some odd film that really needed a lot of help but i was pleasantly surprised with how great this movie was.
The movie had everyone laughing, and i mean everyone, I've been too almost every Wright film and somehow the audience wasn't as amused as i was, but this time everyone loved it. I've never heard so much laughter in one cinema.
The jokes were fast and although silly, they weren't stupid which made for quite an enjoyable film. Wright's trademark quick cuts, and simple comedy made this film, i personally think if it were directed by anyone else it wouldn't have had the same effect.
The characters were well written and performed, every individual character fitted perfectly. The film had many scenes that were quite pointless but still quite funny for example the Seinfeld scene.
Apparently its based on a comic book series? I've never heard of them before but i certainly will look out for them now. If you're a fan of Edgar Wrights films or just good silly humour you will love this film.
Great comedy, definitely the best of 2010 8/10 Morgan
