“Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” is an awkward film that is a disjointed onslaught of mismatched concepts for films with virtually no consistency. “Scott Pilgrim” isn’t a particularly funny movie and I don’t know what else it is trying to be. Is it a romantic comedy? Is it a parody of videogames? Or is it a tribute to videogames?

In “Scott Pilgrim”, we meet the antisocial Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera “Juno”). He is dating a 17-year-old schoolgirl while playing in a small-time rock band when he comes across the girl of his dreams, named Ramona Flowers (“Mary Elizabeth Winstead “The Thing”, “Final Destination 3”). However, to carry on dating her, he must defeat her seven evil exes in fighting game fashion.

Is Michael Cera acting in this movie or is he just randomly wandering around and reading lines from cue cards? My guess would sadly be the latter. Scott Pilgrim is not a likeable character in anyway; I’d rather repeatedly slap him across the face than spend five minutes speaking to him. Ramona is a boring character. Chris Evans (“Captain America: The First Avenger”) stars as one of Ramona’s seven exes and he’s sadly probably the best. Brandon Routh (“Superman Returns”) plays another and is pretty poor.

What is there to like about this film other than the special effects and about a hundredth of the jokes. I was confused by “Scott Pilgrim” as the editing is all over the place, the story is all over the place and any attempt at being logical is violently beaten. I’ve enjoyed playing some videogames but I don’t like this movie. If you’re a fan of rock music, over the top special effects and dorks for protagonists then you’ll love this movie but if you’re not like that, you won’t want to touch this film with a 100-metre pole.
