Nothing new but it's definitely one of those so-called ''indie'' movies right now.

Originally about the Adventureland 20 minutes away from my house, this movie movie did a good job at showing both the drag of working at a local amusement park and the tricky ways games were set in order for the people who went to the parks never got to win a giant ass panda. Intertwined was a kind of romance between James Brennan, (a new employee who had plans to go to Europe with classmate but had to work and help pay for his school after finances went south with his family) and Em Lewin, a person who was working there way too long and saved James from getting stabbed over a panda.
