Review of Adventureland (2009) by Trailesque — 29 Jul 2020
This is a very good late teens/early 20s dramedy/romance. It focuses on a group of young people in 1987 who toil at a local amusement park in Pittsburgh, PA, one summer. There are a couple of the expected stock characters (e.
G. a pipe-smoking intellectual, a goofy, immature dude, and a foxy babe) but there are some surprises and mature themes as well. The story focuses on James, a bright young man who has plans for grad school at Columbia, but whose plans end up derailed.
Good late 80s rock soundtrack.
