GO SEE ADVENTURELAND

Adventureland

Wow. Who knew that Kristen Stewart could act? Adventureland is a new comedy from Greg Mottola, the Adventurelandsame guy who brought us the teen comedy Superbad. But forget everything you ever knew about Superbad, because Adventureland is a hilariously funny and heartfelt movie with likable nostalgia and awesomely outlandish characters.

Set in 1987, Adventureland tells the story of James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg), a recent college graduate who’s moved back in with his parents for the summer and lands an awful job at the local theme park, where he meets Em Lewin, played by Twilight’s Kristen Stewart. Both Eisenberg and Stewart are fantastic. Their chemistry is lovable, and the supporting cast was spot-on the entire movie.

Adventureland has the perfect combination of great acting, mature and immature humor, awkward sexual angst, and sincerity. It’s one of the most well-rounded movies I’ve recently seen, and one of the best of 2009. 9/10

    Saw it the day it came out…could Kristen Stewart be any hotter? I was impressed with the cast all around.
