Review of Adventureland (2009) by Max C — 21 Mar 2017
A good coming of age story with interesting characters who are portrayed very well by their respective actors. However, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig feel wasted in this and have very little actually funny scenes.
More than anything though, this is a story about compelling characters that just happens to have spots of light humor here and there. Another complaint is that it had very little in terms of surprises.
If you've seen any other coming of age story, like Amazon's Red Oaks for example, then you've seen this movie. I just wish this film felt a little more distinctive. Glad I saw it though, if only to see the great performances.
