Scott Pilgrim Versus the World

_***½

Before Sunrise

_****

It's love at first sight when Jesse (Ethan Hawke) spots Céline (Julie Delpy) on a train from Budapest to Vienna. The pair disembark the train and wander the city until the sun comes up, conversing about everything they're afraid to say to anyone else. It's a one-night love story ending in a promise unlikely to be kept, and it leaves you jealous that the story's not your own.

_*½

Valentine's Day in Los Angeles as told through a series of intertwining vignettes featuring a star-studded cast far beyond the director's ability to handle. The viewer will witness a series of break-ups and make-ups involving a slew of characters that, due to their sheer volume, will never get any sort of meaningful development.
