"Adventureland" is a great coming of age story. James is a college grad living at home for the summer. He needs a job for grad school at NYU. After numerous job applications, the only job available is the amusement park, Adventureland. He is not very excited because the pay is not great and the hours sucks. He does meet people that become his friends regardless. He meets an amazing girl, that he starts to fall for her. Her name is Emily, played by Kristen Stewart. After, spending time with people he starts to like, he realizes what he wants to do with his life, he wants to go to New York, and stay with Emily. It is a great story of a complicated relationship.
Jesse Eisenberg is spectacular in this film. This is the first movie I have saw him in and I knew he was going to be a huge star. Kristen Stewart gets a bad rep but she was extremely good, in this film. This film has to be recognized for its directing and writing both by Greg Mottola. This film is great for the awkward boy who tries to get the girl of his dreams and sometimes it works. This film is amazing for any teen.
