Adventureland

First off, they got 1987 completely wrong. The cars were wrong. The hair was wrong. Nobody was wearing tube socks up to their knees! It’s as if somebody watched Dazed and Confused and Meatballs and decided to set the movie in that era, even though it took place ten years later. Jesse Eisenberg has absolutely MASTERED his awkward, over-articulate teenager characterization so it’s time for him to branch out. Kristen Stewart is easy on the eyes, but mopes and pouts her way through another movie. It’s time for her to branch out, too. As for the script, it starts out funny, but gets gradually more dour and less fun as the movie wears on, making the overall experience a great, big… Meh!
