Learning and growing. Growing and learning.

Came was expecting Superbad, instead I got a movie with feeling and story. Not bad.

Awesome film. Tour De Force by Stewart.

Not afraid to do something as unfashionable as wear its heart on its sleeve, Adventureland is one of those rare films that manages to be moving without being manipulative, romantic without being contrived and genuinely humorous. One of the most perfect teen romance films since Say Anything%u2026 [Full Review]

Familiar awkward coming of age plot, but the side characters really sold it.

You may accuse Adventureland for trying to be too cool, but I think the movie is more than just hip and all this indie crap. Greg Mottola's coming-of-age tale pays homage to John Hughe's 1980s, I guess, and is subtle funny, gentle and truly melancholic. And I forgot to mention those really good supporting characters, you know, Frigo, Joel, Bobby, Paulette, and, yes, Lisa P.

After Mottola equated nostalgia and kitsch in Superbad, I was taken aback by the maturity, subtlety and weight of Adventureland. It's a smart film, melancholy really, interested in the disappointments of the past and filmed in a way that evokes the ephemerality of memory. So, yes, quite lovely.

i dont even know why i compare it to superbad, but the entire movie felt like a mature version of it, and it actually way a good movie ... and the soundtrack! judas priest!

Very well crafted comedy in the vein of Apatow and Superbad comedies (go figure) with enough laughs and enough charcter to keep it going and a very worthy entry in this whole sect of movies.

movies that take back in the past I love. something similar for me would be like almost famous

Young Alan Davis is inept when it comes to the womenfolk, but this summer he'll learn what it really takes to become a man. Or something. It's a faux-indie, early-twenties coming of age comedy. The kind that I enjoy and most hate.

Jesse Eisenberg is solid in his lead role and Kristen Stewart does well when she isn't biting her lip, but I wish the movie had made a better use of some of its great supporting cast members from Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig to Martin Starr and Matt Bush. That being said really enjoyable and surprisingly more about the feeling of being in limbo after college than about making the audience laugh.

A good period piece dealing with the listlessness and apathy that tend to show up by the early 20s, as well as exploring class and social standings. In the hands of a less talented cast and director this could have easily been too-hip and groan-inducing, but it ultimately comes across bittersweet and sentimental.

Average film, extra points for a good soundtrack.

I really enjoyed Eisenberg, but Kristed Stewart bummed me out as always.

I met my current girlfriend while working at an amusement, and was of course, a far less entertaining story in real life than in this movie.

Quite enjoyable.

Okay enough indie rom com. Not too cutesy or cloying. Eisenberg is likable, Stewart is cute and the supporting cast do alright. Worth a rental.

blah, blah, blah... I work at a fair... yada, yada, yada I like this girl but I am such a romantic... Ugh. As I wrote this review the movie's score dropped even more. Props to crashing your car while drinking and driving and not getting a ticket. I would think that's tough to do. And the annoying version of Ryan Reynolds was in this one too. Didn't find much to laugh, cry or ponder at during the film. I did enjoy the sucker punch at the end.

It's OK, sure, but it never quite manages to transcend the angsty-teen-comedy-drama genre that it awkwardly inhabits. With Eisenberg, Starr and Wiig leading it could have been better, and even Stewart throws in a relatively good performance (with the script she's given), but otherwise it could be a lot better than it actually is.

Adventureland is a comedy/romance/drama that establishes an exceptional equilibrium between all three genres. It maintains a pleasant and easy going mood, making it one of best films that's been a delight to connect and jump into. This 80s period piece creates its mood and setting with a wonderful soundtrack and great natural characters. I like that the male lead isn't a typical loser even though he's a virgin and fresh from collage. The female lead is also strong as well.

Doesn't get a single laugh, which is too bad since it would've been a pretty nice drama without those clumsy attempts at some humour.

better and not as stupid as you might think!
