1/5 horrible
  by John C. Gray (iraq)
I lack the education needed to effectively tell you how bad this movie is. Save your time and energy and definately dont buy it.

5/5 One man's ceiling is another man's floor.
  by Sandy Cruz (Corvallis, OR)
Sometimes people see things differently.
My sister recommended this film to me. I watched it and didn't get it. At All. But she loves it and I love her so I bought it for her. It just made her day. I am thrilled that I got it for her.
Everyone's happy.

4/5 surprisingly good
  by Bm Ciardini (dorset, england)
i bought this dvd after seeing the previews for it, i didnt get a chance to see it at the cinema and was looking forward to the dvd release. i was not dissapointed the movie was highly enjoyable with some strong acting. i recomend the film for its slight comedic apeal and also for the drama, its not a big comedy, the comedy is there but its not the main focus of the story, so i would recomend this film to anyone thinking that maybe it looks good

1/5 Boring
  by William A. Jackson (Van Nuys, CA USA)
After half an hour, I just couldn't take any more. This is really boring.

4/5 Can't Go Wrong With the 'Mats on the Soundtrack
  by David Baldwin (Philadelphia,PA USA)
Give props to writer-director Greg Mottola for not repeating himself. The temptation must have been great to copy "Superbad" but "Adventureland" is a completely different animal. Both are coming-of-age flicks but the tone here is bittersweet. "Adventureland" is funny in part but it's mostly poignant. I like this film alot but it didn't resonate in my subconscious like "Superbad". This is not to slight the film but only fair warning to anybody expecting something else.

Adventureland Summary From thedirector of SUPERBAD comes ADVENTURELAND, a smart, witty comedy we canall relate to. When James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) has to cancel hisdream summer vacation and make some money for grad school, the only jobhe can get is at Adventureland, a tacky amusement park where the gamesare rigged and the rides make you hurl. But it's where he meets Em(Kristen Stewart, TWILIGHT), and his rollercoa

Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 08/25/2009 Run Time: 107 Minutes Rating: R

A sweet and slap-happy mix of indie coming-of-age drama and Judd Apatow’s scatological but heartfelt manchild comedies, Greg Mottola’s Adventureland is a winning look at the pleasures and frustrations of dead-end jobs and teenage kicks as viewed through a filter of mid-‘80s pop culture. The underutilized and always watchable Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale) is a sheltered, introspective New York college grad who discovers that his parents’ financial woes will not only quash his dream of a summer in Europe (to enjoy its more “sexually permissive” nations) but require a move to Pittsburgh, where he lands a job at a dilapidated amusement park. There, he’s thrown in with a motley crew of eccentrics, small-town types and a few genuine free spirits, most notably co-worker Em (Kristen Stewart), whose complicated past proves irresistible to his repressed psyche. Mottola, who directed Superbad and episodes of the well-loved Freaks and Geeks, and who once worked in a similar park as a teen, doesn’t shy from the crude laughs that make Apatow’s features so popular, but he tempers it with a wistful tone and layered characters that hew closer to his earliest work, The Daytrippers. Though ill-matched at first, Eisenberg and Stewart make a likable on-screen couple, and they’re well-supported by a terrific cast that includes such die-hard scene-stealers as Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as the park’s offbeat owners, Martin Starr as a Russian lit aficionado, and Ryan Reynolds as a former town tamer, now reduced to working as the park’s handyman. A soundtrack performed by underground faves Yo La Tengo and filled with a smart mix of hip cuts (Hüsker Dü, the New York Dolls, the Replacements) and period faves (Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus”) underscores the film’s blend of tentative emotions and broad laughs. -- Paul Gaita
