Scott Pilgrim (2010)

We saw this on Saturday, after seeing Step Up 3D on Friday--that means two movies in two nights that each had a character named Natalie. And, Anna Kendrick was in Scott Pilgrim and she, of course, earned an Oscar Supporting Actress nod for her Natalie in Up in the Air. That's altogether too many Natalies.

Anyway, disconcerting character names aside, Scott Pilgrim is a cute movie. I thought the "bam" "wack" graphics might get a little trite after the first few uses but they worked out just fine and I liked the video game indicators (lives, levels, etc.). Those things ended up being quirky and fun but not totally distracting.

What was distracting? Ramona's hair. I'm not even talking about the color. I'm talking about the incredibly bad cut, including but not limited to the bangs. Really. They took a super cute actress and made her beyond homely.
