If you like your movies entertaining and full of fun, then
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is your best bet. I really enjoyed this movie. Based on the popular graphic novels,
Scott Pilgrim is overflowing with pop culture references, clever dialogue and style. My goodness, the style! The filmmakers really geeked this movie out and it's all the better for it. Not going all out in this context would have been a bad choice. As Scott battles each of Ramona's evil exes, there's no denying the escalating humor and jubilance.
I'm all for letting yourself go and marveling at the world, but I don't think
Eat Pray Love quite hit all the right notes here. I don't think the first half hour or so is particularly great and I wasn't buying James Franco and Julia Roberts as a couple. Thankfully once Jules began her trip, the film found its stride. Particularly enjoyable were the locals that Jules met on her journey. Richard Jenkins and Javier Bardem were both outstanding. These small roles made a big difference. For me, this film definitely inspired me to travel and see the world, and it was entertaining, I just wasn't all that attached or invested in Jules' self discovery.

saw scott pilgrim. by myself. liked it. thought it was very fun. rather enjoyed the video gamey aspects. although i think it woulda been better if there were a few less evil exes as it began to drag.
