After reading the negative reviews of this movie from Yahoo! users, it's clear that an IQ test should be administered before allowing just anyone to review a movie.
"Adventureland" is not "Superbad." It is not a wacky comedy. It is a very realistic look at romance among adults in their early 20s. For those of us who grew up in the 1980s, it takes us back, visually and through the music, to a magical time when our gonads were break-dancing and the mysteries, miseries and joys of life were brand new.
I have actually seen the film twice. The second time I took a woman who barely speaks English. Didn't matter. After the movie she was smiling and said the film made her feel "very warm." I won't say much else, other than, if you want to take a date to a nice romantic film, THIS IS IT.
Nevermind the idiots who are upset because the film is not a sequal or imitation of "Superbad." |
