Movie: Adventureland
March 26th, 2009 by Rick
It was the worst job they ever imagined… and the best time of their lives. A comedy set in the summer of 1987 and centered around a recent college grad (Eisenberg) who 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.
With the Director Greg Mottola (Superbad) at the helm, Adventureland might prove to be a great comedy. Based on the experiences he had working at a Long Island amusement, Mottola cooks up a passable amount of mischief to occupy the late-teen/early-20s misfits who work as ride and game operators at Pittsburgh’s Adventureland in the summer of ‘87. Mottola indulges the audience with abundant puking, groin pinches, drunk and stoned behavior, and lax work habits.
Look for Adventureland in theaters on April 3rd.
Trailer’s available after the jump.
