Adventureland
Set in 1987 Pittsburg, a college student's plans for grad school and an European vacation get derailed by a change in family finances. He ends up working as a games carnie at a sucky amusement park for the summer. It’s funny, but not outrageous "Superbad" funny. It is more of a sweet story about the rollercoaster ups and downs of summer romances and relationships. Alien liked the Kristen Stewart/Jesse Eisenberg pairing, but thought the SNL comedy duo of Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig was underutilized. During the credits, a short "Adventureland" commercial pops up.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "love is complicated" stars out of 4.
