I don't have too much time right now and so I thought I would start a post to review a film, but with minimal effort...
So from here forth, these little to no effort reviews will be "At a Glance"
Adventureland:
An obvious post-Juno production, but only because it was post-Juno. If Adventureland came out before Juno, it may have done better with viewers being that they had nothing to directly relate it to, but then again, Juno was better.
Kristen Stewart is great in her role in this film, but Jesse Eisenberg reminds me too much of the Bleeker role of Michael Cera. I guess the way I would explain the basic premise is if Bleeker got a summer job after college at an amusement park, where he met Juno for the first time.
The dialogue was witty and entertaining, and the secondary characters were very memorable and added a lot of depth to the story line as a way for the audience to be taken away for a moment.
Overall, it was entertaining and had a special place in my heart being that it was filmed in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA...at the amusement park I grew up going to. It's an enjoyable time at the moving pictures, just don't expect too much.
