REVIEW
Fans of the series will love it; others less so.
It starts off with great promise but once Scott meets Ramona things change: to win her affection he has to battle all her seven ex-boy or girlfriends and these encounters play out like a video game.
To many all this might be written off as silly, bizarre humour for younger people whose main source of literature is comic books. I would agree with that assessment.
CLASSIFICATION
for stylized violence, sexual content, language and drug references.FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
• This is one of my classic nitpicks: when Stacey hangs up, Scott hears a dial tone. In reality the dial tone is only heard after picking up the phone before dialling. That’s why it’s called a dial tone.
• Scott and Ramona sit down on swings in the park, he on the left hand side, she on the right. In the next scene they have magically switched places.
