Adventureland

[talion]

The trailers would have you believe that this is as whacky comedy, but it's neither whacky nor terribly comedic. It's more along the lines of a young tale of romance and is surprisingly mature and wise in its approach to love and relationships. The pacing is a little bit slow at times, and nothing really explosive happens, but for all of that it's a fairly pleasing film, with some nice performances by a complete cast of unknowns (with the exception of Ryan Reynolds). No over the top rivalries, college pranks or preppy villains, the people all seem to be, if anything, mature beyond their years in a lot of instances. Worth watching.
