Adventureland (2009)

I actually enjoyed watching this movie despite thinking that it was going to be a "Waiting" type of comedy. This movie is this generations "Sixteen Candles" type of movie. It is about a kid named James who recently graduates from college, but is forced to find a summer job because his parents are willing to pay for him to go to grad school. So he gets a job at an amusement park called Adventureland. This job helps James figure out what he needs to prepare for the real world as he runs into issues of love. Jesse Eisenberg (The Education Of Charlie Banks, Cursed) plays James and he does a fantastic job playing a kid who might have graduated college but hasn't experienced life like he should be. Kristen Stewart (Jumper, Twilight) plays Em, the girl James is both into and confused about. Em, is a very confused girl herself and doesn't know what to do when it comes to which relationship she should continue on. Should she still hook up with Ryan Reynolds (Waiting, Van Wilder) who plays the parks handyman by day and wanna be rock star by night or hook up with James? The movie features a great cast to boot. The movie stars Bill Hader (Hot Rod, Superbad) as James's boss, Kristen Wiig (Knocked Up, Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs) as Bill Hader's wife, Martin Starr (Stealing Harvard, Knocked Up) as James's friend Joel, and the very sexy Margarita Levieva (Noise) as Lisa P. just to name a few. It's a fantastic movie and I recommend it. Three And The Half Stars Out Of Five
