Plot: Inspired by writer/director Greg Mottola's own true-life job-from-hell experience, Adventureland stars The Education of Charlie Banks' Jesse Eisenberg as an uptight recent college graduate who discovers that he'll have to get a degrading minimum-wage job at a local amusement park instead of spending his summer drinking German beer, visiting world-class museums, and flirting with cute French girls. It's the summer of 1987, and James Brennan (Eisenberg) has just graduated college. James is all set to embark on his dream tour of Europe when his parents (Wendie Malick and Jack Gilpin) suddenly announce that they won't be able to subsidize the trip. Now the only things James has to look forward to this summer are sugar-fueled children, belligerent dads, and an endless parade of giant stuffed animals. When James strikes up a relationship with captivating co-worker Em (Kristen Stewart), however, he finally starts to loosen up. Suddenly, the worst summer ever doesn't seem quite so bad. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I lack the education needed to effectively tell you how bad this movie is. Save your time and energy and definately dont buy it.

Sometimes people see things differently.
My sister recommended this film to me. I watched it and didn't get it. At All. But she loves it and I love her so I bought it for her. It just made her day. I am thrilled that I got it for her.
Everyone's happy.

i bought this dvd after seeing the previews for it, i didnt get a chance to see it at the cinema and was looking forward to the dvd release. i was not dissapointed the movie was highly enjoyable with some strong acting. i recomend the film for its slight comedic apeal and also for the drama, its not a big comedy, the comedy is there but its not the main focus of the story, so i would recomend this film to anyone thinking that maybe it looks good

After half an hour, I just couldn't take any more. This is really boring.

Can't Go Wrong With the 'Mats on the Soundtrack

Give props to writer-director Greg Mottola for not repeating himself. The temptation must have been great to copy "Superbad" but "Adventureland" is a completely different animal. Both are coming-of-age flicks but the tone here is bittersweet. "Adventureland" is funny in part but it's mostly poignant. I like this film alot but it didn't resonate in my subconscious like "Superbad". This is not to slight the film but only fair warning to anybody expecting something else.
