Review of Adventureland (2009) by Buggy B — 25 Aug 2014

This was okay. I'd been hearing buzz about this movie for ages, I guess its considered some kind of cult classic but I didn't really "get" it. It's a sweet coming of age/summer love movie, following a recent college grad who is forced to take a crappy minimum wage job at the local amusement park after his parents announce they can no longer fund his education or send him to Europe.

The plot is simple, there are some humorous moments carried along by good performances from Eisenberg and Stewart and a fun sub-cast. I think my favorite part was probably the nostalgia inducing 80's music, the Pinto that Stewart's character drove.

Ryan Reynolds is that bad boy we all remember so well... 8/25/14.
