Adventureland (2008) starring Jesse Eisenberg, Ryan Reynolds, Kristen Stewart. It's 1987, and recent college grad James Brennan (Eisenberg) finds the his planned trip to Europe canceled due to money problems. Instead, he must take a summer job at Adventureland, a low-rent local amusement park. Although he fears he has fallen into a dead-end job, he meets interesting people and soon finds his life entwined with his fellow employees. The soundtrack of the movie is saturated with '80s music, which will surely have nostalgia value for those who came of age in the '80s. The characters and plot are interesting and original enough that I can recommend this movie. Grade: B+
