From genre-smashing director Edgar Wright ('Shaun of the Dead', 'Hot Fuzz',) the story of one slacker's epic battle to defeat 'the seven evil exes' and win the girl of his dreams.

Charmingly nerdy 22-year-old Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) plays bass in a band but has never been lucky in love. When Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) rollerblades into his world, Scott believes he's met the girl of his dreams. However, he quickly finds there's a big and totally unexpected problem - Ramona's seven evil exes control her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor. As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past - from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is 'game over'.
