When 22-year-old Torontan slacker Scott Pilgrim starts dating the pink-haired New Yorker Romona Flowers, he discovers that he must fight and defeat – in comic book/video game style – her seven evil exes for the privilege, in Edgar Wright’s exhaustingly exuberant and thoroughly entertaining adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley’s graphic novels, which is perhaps just a smidgen too long, as it runs out of steam a little towards the end when things begin to get just a tad repetitive.
