Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

tracynurzynski-483-915726 Fun era, great music, terrific cast and best of all it's a coming-of-age story - one of my favorite genres. I throughly enjoyed this movie, don't listen to the negative reviews. It's on Netflix! Go watch then check out the soundtrack...some great tunes!

adonis98-743-186503 In the summer of 1987, a college graduate takes a 'nowhere' job at his local amusement park, only to find it's the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world. What really shines in Adventureland is 100% Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart they have a great chemistry together but you also feel about the characters they have done mistakes and all that and they try to fix them that is why the ending also worked because of them finding what they were looking for not just love but their other half. What is also good in this film is easily the humor which is straight up hilarious when it wants to but also great on it's dramatic parts Eisenberg and Stewart worked together again in American Ultra last year and in Cafe Society this year.

catholiccontriversy A lot of people are talking about the ads for Adventureland, and while I don't remember many of them in detail, it is true that the ads were a little misleading as to the kind of movie it turned out to be, and that's for the best.I rented this as a "2 for $1" at my local video store, and I was quite surprised with how it was. I was expecting some Eisenberg fast talk and Stuart wooden acting in an R-rated comedy, but it was actually pretty low key slice of life film about a college graduate (Eisenberg) who has to work a crappy job and finds summer romance at said job (Stuart), along with the realistic fun that they get into with their friends and coworkers. It's not a masterpiece of cinema, and the best age to watch this is early-mid 20s (anything younger and they won't get it, and anything older and they will no longer get it), but it's got charm and is really a "this could happen" sort of movie. Plus, it has what is essentially an "all star cast" (even if some were before the big hits or right after they started gaining speed).And if the "R rating" is a turn off, it's a pretty soft R, for language present but not in excess, marijuana alcohol use, and some suggestions at sex. It's kind of in the realm of The Breakfast Club. This isn't "we earned our R rating and we're going to let it be known," it's more of "well to tell the story we wanted we needed some more adult content, just missing the PG-13 mark."

punishmentpark 'Adventureland', also in the sense that adolescence may be a romantic, adventurous ride with as many ups as it has downs - as is the case for our protagonist in this movie.In the first part I had a little trouble getting into things, because of Jesse Eisenberg's overly off-beat delivery (and his equally forced clever lines) and the settings, atmosphere and overall look of the film weren't very convincingly '80s-like. But Eisenberg's performance got better and better (and his lines more natural), as did that whole '80s atmosphere - much helped by the steady, and not too fast, developing of the story, with some good humorous bits here and there.There are lots of fun supporting roles by - for instance - Martin Starr, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, and the soundtrack is a sheer endless list of terrific oldies, like 'Breaking the law' (Judas Priest) and 'Don't wanna know if you are lonely' (Hüsker Dü) So, in conclusion, this is not an earth-shattering coming of age flick, but certainly more than fun enough to have seen twice so far. Plus: Kristen Stewart is not the best actress ever, but her natural cuteness is simply undeniable.A big 7 out of 10.
