7 Reasons Everyone Should Watch Scott Pilgrim vs The World

In This Article:

In (late) honor of the film's release 8 years ago, let's talk about why everyone should see this movie. Before I get fully into, though, I should add that there are a few things in the movie that I'm not super into but every movie has weak points.

It's super freakin' quotable.

One of the most memorable lines in the entire movie is "I'm in lesbians with you" but that's not the best one. There are so many other quotes - this probably shouldn't have been my first point - like, "pirates are in this year?" and "amzon.ca, what's the website for that?" As well as "The future? Like, with jetpacks?" I should really stop now because I can go all night.

It's literally star packed

In addition to Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who is absolute girl crush material btw), this movie also has Pre-Captain America Chris Evans, Pre-Captain Marvel Brie Larson, Jason Shwartzman, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Aubrey Plaza, and Pre-Parenthood Mae Whitman to start off. You may want to keep the iMDB page for this movie open because you'll be saying "I know that actor" a LOT.

It's actually relatable

Scott Pilgrim vs The World was one of the first movies I watched and couldn't get enough of. I related so hard to certain scenes so much that I watched the movie TWICE in a five-hour period.

It's Just Funny

For being a "romantic" movie, Scott Pilgrim vs The World is actually really freakin' funny. The scene above is literally one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever just because of the delivery.

The soundtrack is the best. Ever. 

In addition to being relatable and funny and all around awesome, the soundtrack and musical scenes make this movie super well-rounded.

It Has Tons of Geeky References

In addition to everything previously stated, the amount of geeky references in this movie is actually astounding. There are references to Street Fighter 2 and a game that's similar to Dance Dance Revolution to name a couple.

It's Just Pure Entertainment Gold. 

Watch the movie once and you'll soon find yourself quoting it in your everyday life or at least humming some of the songs to yourself. It's a goldmine of references and relatable characters and music that'll be stuck in your ears for weeks to come. Just watch it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
