The underutilized and always watchable Jesse Eisenberg ( \nThe Squid and the Whale) is a sheltered, introspective New York college grad who discovers that his parents' financial woes will not only quash his dream of a summer in Europe (to enjoy its more \"sexually permissive\" nations) but require a move to Pittsburgh, where he lands a job at a dilapidated amusement park. There, he's thrown in with a motley crew of eccentrics, small-town types and a few genuine free spirits, most notably co-worker Em (Kristen Stewart), whose complicated past proves irresistible to his repressed psyche. Mottola, who directed\n Superbad and episodes of the well-loved\n Freaks and Geeks, and who once worked in a similar park as a teen, doesn't shy from the crude laughs that make Apatow's features so popular, but he tempers it with a wistful tone and layered characters that hew closer to his earliest work, \nThe Daytrippers. Though ill-matched at first, Eisenberg and Stewart make a likable on-screen couple, and they're well-supported by a terrific cast that includes such die-hard scene-stealers as Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as the park's offbeat owners, Martin Starr as a Russian lit aficionado, and Ryan Reynolds as a former town tamer, now reduced to working as the park's handyman. A soundtrack performed by underground faves Yo La Tengo and filled with a smart mix of hip cuts (Hüsker Dü, the New York Dolls, the Replacements) and period faves (Falco's \"Rock Me Amadeus\") underscores the film's blend of attempted emotions and broad laughs. --\n Paul Gaita\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 057373206140\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0057373206140\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40683369038008,"sku":"86-MCCZ-QAO5","price":4.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/61_oYtTINWL.jpg?v=1634135303","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/adventureland-bilingual","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
