Synopsis: Welcome to Adventureland, where the worst job imaginable is about to inadvertently turn into the summer that changes everything. Adventureland, a self-professedly 'funtastic' Pennsylvania amusement park, appears to be the bane of recent college graduate's James Brennan's existence. He previously had big plans to spend the summer on a life-altering trek through Europe that would initiate him into real adult life. But when his family suffers an economic downturn in the middle of the Reagan 80s, James' only summer trip is straight to a minimum wage job manning a game booth so existentially bankrupt, no one is even allowed to win the giant stuffed panda. Yet, Adventureland isn't quite what it seems on the surface. For behind the cloying cotton candy aroma, the grating disco songs and the near pathological customers, there's a whole other world of misfit friends, hidden dreams and most incredibly, after-work encounters with the alluringly sharp-tongued arcade girl, Em Lewin. And when James discovers the hard-won courage to go to battle for Em, the result is a savagely funny yet sweetly heart-felt and unexpected encounter with 'real adult life'.

A very slow movie. I expected it to have more comedy that it actually had, since the trailers tried to make it look like a summer comedy. It had some really funny scenes and moments, some drama and romantic situations, but I could expect more from it. Maybe I was expecting the plot to be a school dumb comedy and this was more a drama/romantic plot with some comedy scenes. Ryan Reynolds, I don't know... his professional performance is like waves, he works in some really funny and great movies, or big movies like Wolverine, and then he plays roles like the mechanic who fixes things in a local theme park and likes to cheat on his wife but, he's a really good guy at the same time... no comments. And finally, I haven't finally decided to watch Twilight. I know it's been a huge success, but I've never felt the desire to watch it. I might do it one of these days. I brought the Twilight comment, since it seems to be Kristen Stewart's most important credit, being the second role in this movie, but oh boy, she sucks as an actress!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The way the park's manager runs his park, no comments! really funny
2. The scene when Jesse Eisenberg is called the boner after kissing Kristen Steward in the pool
3. I kinda liked the end of the movie, how the guy after trying to save money for his school in NY moves to NY with no money, just trying to find the girl he wants
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Kristen Stewart, she sucks as an actress
2. Ryan Reynolds, a crappy role after being in some recent great movies
3. The story says that it is in the 80s, but noone dresses like being in the 80's only the music played in this movie is from the 80's
I would rate this movie with a 2/5
