Seriously, Adventureland is one of the funniest movies I've seen this year. Big call, I know but it has everything I look for in a movie. Quirky characters- tick, cute geek-chic boys-tick, teen angst-tick, laugh out loud line-tick! Not to mention its set in the 1980's -though cleverly done and v. subtle! I completely endorse this film, ha-ha!
It was directed by Greg Mottola who was behind Superbad which I thought that was pretty funny, too. I think it has a Freak and Geek flavour and it was funny to see a grown up 'Bill' (played by Martin Starr) in Adventureland, he is hilarious!
I also formed a little crush on the Jesse Eisenberg, too. He is my new Hollywood hottie! Tee hee! It had the most limited release and I can't figure out why, we had to trek to Readings to see but boy, was it worth it! Oh, it was so whimsical and nostalgic!
Arggh!! Where did you see this movie? I have been dying to see it, but it hasn't really been out anywhere! Except for Belmont Reading cinemas, but that was gone by the time I checked to go. I am sad.

yep, I did the trek to Readings- must have caught it before it finished, but seriously must have been showing for like only 2 weeks....I just can't understand why no one else was playing it!
ReplyDeleteI know, how ridiculous! No one was playing it, even Luna! Well I am sad now. I wanted to see it so badly, and now I have missed it. My life as I know it is over, well not really, that's probably a bit dramatic, but my life of watching a movie called Adventureland in the near future is over. I talk too much.
