Review of Adventureland (2009) by Nathaniel M — 23 Jan 2013

Totally not what I was expecting. Exhibit A in my "Kristen Stewart is talented, albeit not versatile" argument. The flaw of this movie, or maybe what makes it good, is the awkward dialogue, especially early, is really hard to follow.

Jesse Eisenburg channels a genuinely flawed, selfish, and insanely awkward college grad. It can be difficult to root for such flawed characters, but they help us remember how shallow people in this age group are, and how their mistakes are what lead them to growing up.
