		<description><![CDATA[Greg Mottola announced himself as a filmmaker-to-watch with 2007’s excellent Superbad, channelling the spirits of two well loved American directors: John Hughes and Richard Linklater. With his new film, Adventureland... the old adage goes that ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’.



A harsh criticism for a wonderful film?  Not at all.  Mottola has crafted a hugely entertaining flick that captures well the ideals and hopes of young people in search of love and meaning…finally siding with optimism and romance just as it threatens to end on a downer.

However (and this may be a controversial comment), it suffers slightly from having an obvious romantic trajectory.  By this, I mean the love story seems to get in the way of a film driven by fun characters and their everyday shenanigans whilst working at the theme park.  The plot seems tacked on to a more free-wheelin’-Richard Linklater-type of film.

By creating such an endearing band of nerds, goofballs, hotties, retards and intellectuals (yes, intellectuals!), Mottola’s film ambles along nicely until it remembers there is a narrative; a love-triangle between Jesse Eisenberg’s James, co-worker Em (Kirsten Stewart) who is having secret trysts with the married Connell (Ryan Reynolds, in a non-comedic role), who James ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Director Greg Mottola who seemed to skip virtually all of the praise for SUPERBAD, which last year was divided between producer Judd Apatow, writer Evan Goldberg, co-writer/actor Seth Rogen and actors Jonah Hill and Michael Cera... has left all those guys behind for his next movie ADVENTURELAND.



Set in 1987, it's the story of a recent college grad (Jesse Eisenberg) who takes the only job he can get in an amusement park, so he can save enough money to travel Europe. For Mottola, it's said to be most biographical, as he once worked in an amusement park. 

TWILIGHT'S Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig and Martin Starr co-star. The first trailer for the movie has been released over at IGN...



Looks a nice blend of drama, fun, sweet poignancy and Bill Hader/Kristen Wiig awesomeness.

/Film also carry a new poster for the movie which can be seen below.



The movie has the U.S. release date of March 27th 2009, no U.K. date just yet. ]]></description>
