30 Day Movie Challenge: Day 20

Hate is a very strong word, but I think it fits in with today's theme, which is...

A GOOD MOVIE WITH AN ACTOR YOU REALLY HATE

Well, I would give this spot to Julia Roberts, but I really, really hate Julia Roberts, so there is no way I'm talking any more about her. Another actor I really hate is now Michael Cera. I will admit that he was hysterical in Arrested Development, but after that, I never really liked him, especially after his "turn" in Youth In Revolt. But I love Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. There are many reasons why Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is a great movie. There were so many good supporting roles in this film, especially by Kieran Culkin as Wallace Wells. The Seven Evil-Exes part was hilarious with my personal favorite was Mae Whitman (Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender?!) as Roxy Richter. Mary Elizabeth Winstead was perfect as Ramona Flowers. Then of course, it was directed by Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead), who has never steered me wrong. So maybe Michael Cera was his same old awkward self, but the movie was not taken down because of Cera's typical performance. So rent it, borrow it, (il)legally download it, whatever. But don't let Cera draw you away from a really great movie.
