Adventureland

When I first started seeing ad spots for this movie, I decided in my head that this would be a mildly funny, mildly entertaining movie that would keep me amused for an hour and a half.

I was pretty wrong about that.

The movie is entirely too long, over two hours, and feels like its four hours long. Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, and Martin Starr are the stars of this movie with guest spots from the T-Mobile kid, Bill Hader, Kristin Wiig, and Ryan Reynolds. While I'm not saying this movie didn't have its moments, it did, but they didn't lead anywhere.

The movie stars Jesse Eisenberg (of The Hunting Party and soon to be Zombieland) as James. A timid college student looking for a summer job. He lands one at an amusement park and falls for Kristen Stewart's character, who has a mixed up life. Problems ensue, jokes, plot, the whole works. Its very predictable. Eisenberg is a pretty good actor, think Michael Cera with more range and acting skills.

The movie has an 80's feels to it, and it can possibly bring some people back to its times. I think the movie could have used a bit more definitive scenes and maybe even gotten rid of some parts.

However, it was watchable, and if you have time to kill and its on TV, its worth a watch. Maybe even rent it from NetFlix. Just don't buy it before you see it.

I rate this movie 6.0 out of 10.
