7 Reasons Everyone Should Watch Scott Pilgrim vs The World

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
