Thank god it wasn't overhyped for me. I really loved the game references and the kick-ass action sequences. I haven't seen fighting that good since The Matrix and Kung Fu Hustle.

It was a really fun movie and if it was trying to appeal to hipsters and geeks it was because it's really hard not to when the books are literally a bible for scenester atheist nerd losers to base their behaviour. They took a pretty hackneyed little series and made it a very entertaining film. I don't think I've had as much fun watching a movie as I did with Scott Pilgrim since. Kick-Ass was still loads better though.
As for Micheal Cera, he's got a lot of range and it's not his fault that studios liked typecasting him. I can't find a clip of it but he's done a couple of things with Tim and Eric where he breaks the MC mold and is really, really funny.
Actually, found one. This is the worst example but at least he's not stuttering at his pregnant girlfriend or dropping shit on the ground.

I watched Chairman of The Board.
You can see Carrot Top's dick in this movie, no joke. At one point he tries to cover up with a plaster duck or some shit and his mushroom tip is just peering out behind it.
Oh, and the movie was fucking stupid. You want a review? Shut up.
