not bad,very dramatic

set in 1987 this supposed romantic comedy is about James Brennan(Jesse Eisenberg in a Michael Cera role). James was supposed to be going to Europe for the summer to learn and hopefully become a writer and move to New York. However none of this happened. Becasue his parents(Wendie Malick and Jack Gilpin) can't afford it.On top of it all he is dumped by his girlfriend. James is then forced to get a job, and wherever he applies (due to lack of work expierence) he does not get the job. So he applies for Adventureland, a games and rides kind of place (more like a year around town fair).James is willing hired as a games guy by Bobby(Bill Hader) and Paulette(Kristen Wiig).James is easily bored with his new job as the games guy, then James meets Emily(Kristen Stewart)a fellow employee of adventureland and student in new york, who saves him form being stabbed. However Emily is not all that she seems to be and is having an affair with connell(Ryan Reynolds) the maitinence man who is married. Things then get complicated when Lisa P.(Margarita Levieva) a hip clubber asks James out for a date. Adventureland not only captures the feel of the 80's but also how it feels to work in the workforce and have a relationship with a fellow emplyee, Adventureland is directed by superbad alum Greg Mottola.
