Adventureland (DVD, 2009)

Full of wit and snappy retorts, this movie is entertaining and comical in a verbal sense. A lack of diversity in setting and theme; however, the superb acting by Stewart (Em) and Eisenberg (James) makes up for the slow pace. The film aptly describes the life of a teenager in the 80's and also manages to capture some of the greatest songs from the time period. If you're looking for an exciting, edge of your seat movie...look elsewhere. If a coasting trip through the 80's is your goal then this movie is for you.

Great story, there were a few hard cuts that weren't very aesthetically pleasing. But some of the plot lines and situations were creative. Although there were a couple slow parts in the movie. The characters were good, definitely everyone kept you entertained with their personalities. I'd suggest at least rent this to see if you like it. I was a skeptic, because of mixed reviews. But I take opinions with a grain of salt til I know for myself. But I am glad to have this DVD in my collection.

Jesse Eisenberg (The Education of Charlie Banks) and Kristen Stewart (Twilight) star in this coming of age comedy about a young man who's life has been turned upside down when he finds out that not only are his plans to visit Europe for the summer out, but his dream of going to Graduate School in New York with his buddy are on hold as well after his mother informs him that they are having 'difficult' times with the family resources. So James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) ends up working at the only place that will hire him, Adventureland.

While at the job he meets the usual assortment of misfits and he meets Em (Kristen Stewart). One thing leads to another and you have a fine film about young love and the trials and pains associated with it. All from the same director who brought us SUPERBAD.

This film is pretty good in that it is entertaining and it does have a flow to it. If you enjoyed Superbad you will enjoy this movie as well.

Rated 4 of 5 for good acting and an interesting story

Came very quickly and in great condition. Very satisfied with the seller. Would definitely purchase from them again.

This was a really good movie. Kristen Stewart shines in this movie, really proving how great an actress she is.

I bought this for my daughter because see is a Kirsten fan. See really enjoys watching the movie. I wrote my review but the website requires at least 100 characters so there...

tihs dvd played good it is the real deal and would tell some to buy this movie from this seller he has good product

I really did not want to give this film a 4 star rating considering it is really a 3.5 film. The story is interesting but runs extremely slow.

Basically a High School graduate named James is forced to take on a summer job after his father loses the money to send his son on vacation in Europe and to college in New York. James attempts to find real work but winds up working the games booth for an amusement park named Adventureland. His first day on the job he is nearly stabbed by a cheater, but gets saved by his future love interest Emily (Kristen Stewart) or Em for short. There the story becomes average and appears to be an attempt to remake a slightly different version of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" or "Breaking all the Rules" (the one made in 1985, and not the one that starred Annie Potts).

I will not give away much more of the story here since I believe it is worth watching at least one time. But good news to Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder) fans, he is in this one as a out of work musician who has a thing for young female carnival workers. There are some drug and alcohol related scenes in this film for those interested in that sort of thing as well. So it is worth spending 2 or 3 dollars for, but not much more than that. Because eventually this film could become another dust collector sitting on your DVD movies shelf.

This Movie is supposed to be really funny I hope it is worth the buy. The cast is funny in all their other movies so this one should be awesome!

I bought this as a Christmas Present and my Son and Wife enjoyed it. Thank You. I received it in a great time limit so I could send it out of state.

Bought this for a Christmas gift for my fiance. We both really enjoyed the movie. Very good movie and the quality was good.
