Stream Adventureland Movie Online.
Movie Title: Adventureland Adventureland is available for streaming or downloading. |
I got to see this film at a sneak preview. I got free tickets at an 80’s club I frequent. I only had a mild interest in seeing this film when I saw the trailers. In other words, this one was going to be one to wait for on dvd. Free is free, and I went with a tribe of folks on a Wednesday night.

To my surprise, this was a really sweet, funny, well-acted, and truly great film. Yes, this is a film, not some flash-in-the-pan, cash in on the youth market, gross out comedy. Sure, it has elements of that too, but they’re more subdued and the humor is less broad and more sublte. It’s basically about characters you already know or have met in your life. It takes place in the 80’s and it’s basica plot involves the horror any 20-something would face during a recession, getting a really crappy summer job!
The real revelation I found with this film came in the form of Kristen Stewart. She’s the real deal. I had seen her in Twilight recently and found everything anyone did in that film to be hollow. Here, she really shows her acting chops playing a confused youth afraid of the unknown. Jesse Eisenberg is the main character in the film, and I expected nothing but greatness from him, I previously saw him in the brilliant The Squid and the Whale. He is a very talented young actor who I expect to see a lot more from in the future.

The film has all the details of a youth summer job that sucks pegged. Everything from the one hot-chick that everyone wants, the low-rent customers, the over-zealous and possibly dellusional bosses, and on-job romance. It’s all done with genuine emotion and situations. Nothing feels contrived or forced. Characters make mistaks and things go wrong, but there are no moments of the characters becoming overwrought and giving prefunctory speeches regarding the film’s main themes. This is really well written.
I must warn all the video game obsessed, vapid, youth drones about what they’re getting with this film. It has real characters, and a believable situation. It’s a hang-out picture. You just spend time getting to know a particular group of characters who share the same crappy theme park summer job. There is no contrived plot devices, like switched or confused identities, no one is masquarading as one of the opposite sex, no plot devices to keep a false narrative going, and no gags just stuck in the film like an overlong action sequence to get yucks. Yes, the kids get wasted and high, but it has more to do with them coping with their boredom, and it also helps lead to their bonding.
The film manages to be honestly touching as well, something I really didn’t expect from this piece. It was made by the same director of Super Bad, a really brilliant and funny youth comedy, but it is nothing like it. It’s not as great, but its not going for the same thing. The humor comes from character and honest situations and not from over-blown comic situations just set up for the yucks.
If this film would’ve been advertised differently, I would’ve paid to see it.
Recommended for a great cast, unique setting & memorable characters, and a well-written script, this movie will particularly appeal to those who grew up during the 1980s. But “Adventureland” is still timeless enough to please a broader audience.
Mismarketed as a wild comedy follow-up to “Superbad”, this small-scale mini-wonder is a perfect date film, but also a great ride through young adulthood.
The story is both poignant and comic, and the cast is uniformly excellent throughout. Special acting honors go to Kristen Stewart, whose understated and tender performance was exceptionally moving to me (although she may be obviously gay, her straight-girl role is believable, and although I’d never heard of her before, I will be exploring every other film she’s in, simply on the basis of this role). I can’t say enough about her performance here, and she’s going to be a major actress in years to come.
Almost every note of the script rang true to me until the final ten minutes, which were a conventional happy Hollywood ending that probably wouldn’t have happened in real-life. But I can’t fault the coming-of-age story for needing such a denouement, even if it was largely wish-fulfillment. And so, for Greg Mottola’s script & direction, and for Kristen Stewart, five stars. A keeper.
