Adventureland 2009
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kelsey Ford, Michael Zegan, Ryan McFarland, Jack Gilpin, Wendie Malick and Matt Bush
The story is about a recent college grad who takes a job at a local amusement park in the summer of 1987 only to find out that it might be the worst job he ever took but turns out to be the best times of his life and is the perfect opportunity to get him prepared for the real world.
The movie has some great 80’s pop music that i really enjoyed. All though the movie started off a little slow it lets you in on the character and reason for Jesse Eisenberg’s role and how he came about landing such a terrible job at an amusement park. All the characters are believable and the film has some heartfelt emotions going from serious touching and sentimental to funny and even funnier. The plot is somewhat predictable but it was very enjoyable watching the grad going from probably his worst summer ever to finding the right path his life needed to take.
Very enjoyable and funny with some decent actors. Definitely a film that left me smiling with some feel good moments that we all like to coddle in sometimes. My rating is a 6.
