I've read the first five books of the six-part Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series. Erica has read none of them, so I decided to hold off reading the last one so we could go see the movie together and experience the ending, at least, freshly together. Coming from two such different perspectives on the story, it was great that we both loved it a lot.
The mix of video game elements into a early-twenties love story is funny in the graphic novel, but in the movie it really expands into a magic realism that captures the tone and drama of young adult life. The casting is perfect, the music is great. Ah, what a wonderful movie.
