In the summer of 1987, a college graduate takes a ’nowhere’ job at his local amusement park, only to find it’s the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world.
Starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, Adventureland is about the worst job imaginable that inadvertently turns into the summer that changes everything. Recent college grad, James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) had big plans to spend the summer on a life-altering trek through Europe, but when his parents have financial troubles James gets a summer job at the run down local amusement park, Adventureland, where he falls in love with a witty co-worker, Emily Lewin (Kristen Stewart). In that bizarrely shady workplace, the young carnies have unforgettable and painful learning experiences about life, love and trust while James discovers what he truly values. Excellent coming of age romantic comedy with a great cast and super catchy.
