What a phenomenal comedy. It's everything a film like this should be: funny, heartfelt, realistic, genuine. Mottola is far more perceptive here than with Superbad. He also has a much better cast to work with. Eisenberg and Stewart were perfect choices for the leads and the Hader/Wiig combination simply can't go wrong. The soundtrack choices were expected, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Easily the best film I've seen from this year. theficionado called it lovely - it really is.

"Adventureland" is the first time that I could stand Eisenberg, It's also a better 80's movie than most movies actually made in the 80's. It's got laughs, life lessons, heart, and enough of "The Replacements" that you'd have to be one hell of a cold SOB to hate it.

Times have changed, and directors have grown. Mottola hits it out of the park again with a charming comedy that should strike the right chords with most people. Although less funny than 'Superbad', it offers a sense of maturity and genuine skill that few films have. Can't wait for more of his work.

A mature version of Superbad. Not really funny, more of a drama but there are a few laughs. Kristen Stewart was the best part of the movie, she gives a very believable performance. I also enjoyed Bill Hader a lot. Sweet mustache. It looks like Jesse Eisenberg went to the Michael Cera school for acting, the 2 almost seemed interchangeable. And Frigo was a douche, hated that character.

A hilarious movie with lots of great drama, and some well drawed out characters. The entire cast has great chemistry, and Rigo is just fucking hilarious. The reviews I read prior to Adventurelands release praised the comedy, but bashed its romantic side, and was said to be quite mushy, but the romance was extremely well done as well. Mottola does a great job of perfectly pacing both the comedy, and the romance, and the drama, until the end. Is there a new Judd Appatow?

Using big names to propel it into the mainstream "Adventureland" is something I would expect to see in an art house. A good blend of growing up comedy and feeling keeps you interested to the end. Reynolds is toned down from his normal roles and it works perfectly, Stewert was a surprise after Twilight, Eisenberg makes awkwardness charming, Bill Hader was great... you know what I loved the cast...all of them.

After Mottola equated nostalgia and kitsch in Superbad, I was taken aback by the maturity, subtlety and weight of Adventureland. It's a smart film, melancholy really, interested in the disappointments of the past and filmed in a way that evokes the ephemerality of memory. So, yes, quite lovely.

Sweet-natured and beguiling coming of ager stands proudly with the best of the genre; while this largely covers familiar (even predictable) ground, the vivid specificities of Mottola's screenplay, combined with excellent performances all round make this a winner - Eisenberg and Stewart make a terrific couple, but the scene stealing surprise is Reynolds, whose potentially slimy antagonist is still given some well rounded humanity. Perhaps the final scene is an unnecessarily tidy addendum.

I'm a total sap for this sort of movie. It's extremely earnest and pretty damn funny, which goes a hell of a long way in compensating for whatever coming-of-age/rom-com clichés it employs. And for what it's worth, the characters feel more well-drawn than many films of this ilk, with even Em portrayed as more than just an MPDG but a girl allowed to be a bit fucked-up. And of course the soundtrack is killer; any film that uses "Pale Blue Eyes," the best song of all time, gets extra credit from me

A nice film. Acting's rather good, soundtrack's nice and a simple plot-line which makes it easily relatable to and real. Having said that though, it did lack some drive, which probably was the point, but it did make it drag in a few places. It also draws upon a few cliches here and there, but it all ends up coming together rather nicely. So, yeah, decent, but a bit overrated for me.

Extremely cliched and contrived. I don't really understand all the acclaim. I didn't find it very funny, since every joke could be seen coming a mile away. I didn't find it very moving since it was so cliche. And I didn't find anything to think about, since ultimately its a film that has been done a thousand times.

A very likable film. Well written and occasionally very pretty direction from Mottola. There are plenty of good performances also, with the best probably coming from the excellent Kristen Stewart. It's all a little underwhelming, but it is fairly funny, and also quite heartfelt, with some moving drama scenes. Has quite a nice soundtrack too.

A really fun watch. I think that the characters in the movie are really fun and work well together. Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader have a ton of chemistry and make magic whenever they are on screen. I was actually expecting a different comedy to drama ratio, but I was happy with what I got. The drama was well done and didn't seem out of place at all.

Props to crashing your car while drinking and driving and not getting a ticket. I would think that's tough to do. And the annoying version of Ryan Reynolds was in this one too. Didn't find much to laugh, cry or ponder at during the film. I did enjoy the sucker punch at the end.

1) "headband guy" is now No. 2 to Jar-Jar Binks in terms of characters originally designed for laughs, who are not only NOT FUNNY but are actively hate-worthy. 2) Enough with Reed and Bowie being signifiers of "underground cool". It's character development by musical taste...lazy. 3) Stewart's character was completely awful and I had zero sympathy for her. 4) Unexpected vomiting? Not really funny. 5) Hader's stuff felt dropped in from another film. Points only for "it's still a good book."

"Adventureland" has some solid teenage drama to it, even if it's not entirely funny. It does feature some winning performances, a decent script, a few laughs, but most importantly it comes across as an honest, low-key movie.

Very predictable, but still succeeds in thanks to the humor and nostalgia factors. Anyone from the Pittsburgh area will love seeing Kennywood and reliving their childhood. I felt like the lead role could have gone to someone like Michael Cera, but ultimately was glad the casting director opted for Eisenberg, who pulled off awkward yet confident very well.

A warm, funny, charming experience. It's far removed from the fast-paced uber-raunchiness of Mottola's Superbad, but although the laughs per minute ratio is lower (albeit still very high) it evens things out with tremendous heart. Good performances all around. I greatly enjoyed it and recommend it enthusiastically.

Mottola toning it down after "Superbad", in bittersweet coming-of-age tale "Adventureland". It's far from fascinating or original storytelling, yet it still offers considerable resonance - at least up to the full-blown melodramatic final act. It's always good to see Hader and Wiig, even if they're hardly stretching themselves, and Eisenberg is doing his shtick, maybe not as successfully as in the definitely superior "Zombieland" but convincingly enough anyways.

The plot adheres to some romance formulas, but Mottola downplays the melodrama with low-key sentiment and honest performances. Instead it becomes a funny and moving depiction of first love and post-adolescent malaise. The soundtrack is fantastic.

First, gotta say it was enjoyable. That said, I find it bothersome that this movie seems pretty well liked by many of the same people who criticize other movies by saying "I knew everything that was going to happen in the first 15 minutes." Because this film hits every single one of those predictable points. It is also much more impressed with how cool everybody is from smoking drugs and doing alcohol than I am.

That I got my second favorite romantic comedy, after the immortal Say Anything..., was a pleasant surprise. There was a perfect mix of familiar emotional trauma, earnestness and actual comedy. Plus, they have Husker Du and The Replacements on the soundtrack, and I love when movie studios mistake me for a marketable demographic. (I'm broke, and spend most of my entertainment dollar on books, but thanks for pandering to my tastes! Appreciate that.)

It really speaks for the quality of a movie when even I, who finds Jesse Eisenberg annoying, Kristen Stewart insufferable and Ryan Reynolds a detestable piece of shit, really enjoyed it. Not as hipster-as-shit as I was expecting, instead is entertaining and charming. Kristen Stewart is still really annoying at times but her general lack of emotions works well here.

It's hard to dislike a teen comedy/drama as genuine as this. Who'd have thought that, once removed from the Twilight franchise, Kristen Stewart manages to do some acting. Wish that dire bullshit would end already so we could see her in some more real films. Some of its scenes are cut from a hopelessly predictable cloth but in the end it all works as one. Clear-cut and heartfelt.

A simple coming of age story becomes way more then your average crude humor film. Jesse Eisenberg is superb and Kristen Stewart is fantastic. I like Kristen Stewart it seems in her non twilight roles. Eisenberg plays a character that seemed to be written for Michael Cera but he displays his own set of nervousness but unlike Cera he shows a quiet confidence. There is something real about Adventureland and it brings back your old memories even if they werent that long ago to begin with.

Nice performances and chemistry between the two leads. The story was nothing remotely special, just a forgettable cliché really. On the plus side there were some nice 80s-style costumes, and the dialogue was mostly smart, especially the incidental background dialogue. And a good soundtrack. This film would be dead in the water without that soundtrack.

This is another coming of age story with the typical storyline of loser meets girl with inevitable romance. The setting is a low budget amusement park in the 80's. There is lots of obligatory 80's music, clothes, and witty stylized dialog. The actors are competent for this type of film. If you're expecting something new and fresh then expect to be disappointed. There is a familiar rehash of rom-com genre characters but it's still a charming story despite the lack of creativity.

I had low expectations. I admit, Superbad is funny. But it's just a teen comedy of dick jokes. So I expected Mottola to continue in the same spirit with Adventureland. But right from the start I felt that I'm seeing a product of maturity. I can't describe how happy I was when out of the situations that could have been used as a pretext for some juvenile jokes something smart came. Good, light drama, in the authentic-like setting of the 80's. Chasing Amy, anyone?

Yes, it's a coming-of-age comedy and has the usual sophomoric jokes, vulgarity, and drug use but they are just background to a charming love story. Based in part on writer-director Mottola's own life, also features a great '80s soundtrack and a fun pairing of SNLers Wiig and Hader as the park's married owners.

I just don’t like this era of droopy, weaselly glib ironic low-energy Millennial-marketed films, and this one isn’t anything special. The usual scrawny nerds struggling against incel rage and messing things up by being on the spectrum. The usual girl next door attractive chick who is either just one of the boys, caught in a love triangle or a manic pixie. It’s life, but just one narrow facet. Watching life turns into a feedback loop of mirrors you can never break free of.

If this ends with them shooting off fireworks on that hill (one of my favourite scenes in movies and the best work Mottola has done) this goes down as an all timer. Despite the ending it's still one of the best films of the 2000s. An air of melancholy covers the whole film but it's still funny when it needs to be. Starrs character stuck in Pittsburgh being poor and ugly, while his friends seem to be off to bigger and better things is sadly relatable. Also, how did they know about Big Star in

Shouldn't be called a comedy. Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader were the only funny part and they were barely in it. Ryan Reynolds is playing a serious role, so he adds 0 laughs, and while I love cringe humor, Jesse Eisenburg's cringey parts weren't amusing enough to make them more than just mildly uncomfortable. Kristen Stewart's character is significantly less likable than her rival, "Lisa P", which made the romance part feel wrong. Failed on all fronts. Watch Zombieland instead.

Adventureland started pretty slow. It seemed like it was trying to "be" cool. As the movie marched on instead of acting cool the movie started to become cool. Each of the characters at the beginning of the movie gave me the feel that they knew that they were in a cool, indie movie. Towards the end of the movie it seemed like a lot of them threw away the pretense of being cool and just enjoyed the movie. This parallels my feelings as the audience. In the end the movie was pretty good.

This movie has a decent start but then it flattens, nothing about it is memorable, but passes the time.

a wanna-be sundance indie, but at its core a rather basic rom-com. the dialogue is strong but the characters are stock and the story uninspired. it's light and watchable, but leaves you feeling hollow with an unsatisfying ending. in terms of comedy, there are a few moments that barely elicit a chuckle, and even those are nulled by kristen stewart's soul-sucking presence. hader and wiig are underused, but i enjoyed eisenberg, even though he's just sleepwalking through his performance.

The plot and the characters were weak, which the occasional good joke and decent acting couldn't make up for.

The plot gets predictable and formulaic in the extreme; the screenplay seems to vacillate between depicting the main characters as fresh out of college versus fresh out of high school. Still, I enjoyed the humor and even more so, the surprisingly gorgeous setting.

What has the looks of a standard going to college age young person romp is actually a pretty solid character piece. Not a gutbuster, but solid laughs throughout. Eisenberg continues to impress.

I was hoping this would be great, loved most of the actors in it, I also don't even hate Kristen Stewart. But I didn't like it. Oh well.

Misleadingly billed as another Superbad-style comedy, this is a straight-faced coming-of-age drama. Although nicely written and directed it failed to grab me. By completely dropping the comedy in favour of drama it seems to have lost something. On the plus side, it was a revelation to see that Kristen Stewart's acting range extends further than moping and looking pouty.

Kristen Stewart is pretty and vulnerable in this coming of age comedy drama. Jesse Eisenberg was also entertaining as a young man struggling toward his future. The events in the movie feel believable, and the love story keep it interesting. There are a few funny moments and some clever dialog. Ryan Reynolds plays the older man who is messing around with young women. Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader provide a few comical moments.

Adventureland is a comedy/romance/drama that establishes an exceptional equilibrium between all three genres. It maintains a pleasant and easy going mood, making it one of best films that's been a delight to connect and jump into. This 80s period piece creates its mood and setting with a wonderful soundtrack and great natural characters. I like that the male lead isn't a typical loser even though he's a virgin and fresh from collage. The female lead is also strong as well.

Jesse Eisenberg is solid in his lead role and Kristen Stewart does well when she isn't biting her lip, but I wish the movie had made a better use of some of its great supporting cast members from Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig to Martin Starr and Matt Bush. That being said really enjoyable and surprisingly more about the feeling of being in limbo after college than about making the audience laugh.

Great cast. Bill Hader kills it in every scene he's in. I couldn't stand Kristen Stewart though.

I love the time that this movie was set in. I'm an 80's kid myself so I really enjoyed the costumes and music. This movie even had my favorite song from Crowded House. I thought Eisenberg was a good character for his role in this film and surprisingly Kristen Stewart did a fine job as well. I guess she does well as a slutty, cheating pot-head. The supporting cast was also great. I really liked Hader and Wiig as the managers of the theme park. This movie wasn't funny but it was really good.

Adventureland doesn't really break new ground, but this by no means should tell you that its flavor is lacking. very original theme, cool soundtrack and the sub urban 80s backdrop makes this movie a clear winner. Eisenberg may be playing himself in every movie, but he does fit very well here.

Eisenberg is really good and I would say a good amount of the supporting cast is as well. It's not hilarious, but there are quite a few chuckles and some laugh-out-loud moments. The story is also pretty honest, which is good considering what the movie is about. I wasn't terribly impressed with Stewart in this but meh. The overall feel is a good one.
