I caught Adventureland a couple of nights ago on cable. I was surprised by this one, which I hadn't heard of when it came out. Kristen Stewart played her teen angst role again, very similar in tone to Bella Swan (without the blood overtones), not showing the range I know she has, like playing Joan Jett, for example. It was pretty good all around as a coming-of-age story, in which the coming-of-age character was played by Jesse Eisenberg in all his stutterish glory. I think the outstanding marks go the supporting cast, such as Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, and Kristen Wiig. And also a young gorgeous starlet about which I will write more in the next day or two.
Really got me that Adventureland scored 89% at RottenTomatoes.com. But I agreed with that score.
