Adventureland

Kristen Stewart is a quiet, understated homewrecker in Adventureland, and Jesse Eisenberg embibes the awkwardness that each one of us carries around. The film was advertised as a comedy like Superbad, and it was directed by the same man (Greg Mottola). But Adventureland had many deeper aspects, and while Superbad was nostalgic and raunchy, Adventureland tugged a little bit at viewer's heartstrings.
Em Lewin (Kristen Stewart) is a veteran at Adventureland theme park in Pittsburgh, PA, and James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) never thought he would have to work there a day in his life. He falls in love with her almost immediately. Too bad she is sleeping with the park mechanic, Connell (Ryan Reynolds) who happens to be married. Em's homelife also has some interesting baggage, including a mother who died of cancer and a father that remarried a bald woman.
James' homelife is also interesting. His parents never quite seem to know what's going on, and the whole reason he took the job at Adventureland was because his dad got demoted and could no longer afford to send him to Europe for the summer.
But, nevertheless, Em and James fall in love. Or the twentysomething version of it. Adventureland embodies the eighties twentysomething scene and for those of you who were around then will surely bring back some memories with its repetition of "Rock Me Amadeus", which James' is subjected to day in and day out.
Adventureland, though advertised as a comedy, comes out a winner despite its lack of raunch.
