The comic is about a 22 year-old simple-minded slacker who does nothing but obsess over video games, eat cereal, and play in a band with his friends. He meets the girl of his dreams (literally, she uses his dreams as a shortcut during subspace travel) and immediately asks her out. The catch is that he has to fight and defeat her 7 evil exes if he wants to continue dating her.
The movie is being directed by Edgar Wright, who is responsible for Spaced, Sean of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz.
It stars Michael Cera in what could possibly be his breakout role. It seems like the awkward virgin has disappeared and been replaced by an enthusiastic geek you can't help but love. The supporting cast looks amazing and hilarious, and the entire trailer seems as if the movie really has brought the comic to life.

I love the comic, so I can't wait.
Sample pages of the comic are available on the comic's website, if you want to take a look: http://www.scottpilgrim.com/inside.php?id=previews
