I went and saw Adventureland last night but before i tell you about that little gem i have to say that i was dying laughing at the HUGE LINE that was forming as we came in.I was so confused thinking maybe like there was only one dude working because i mean it was a Sunday and what movie comes out on a Sunday?My first thought was,Oh Hannah Montana how your dog face and grating voice brings the idiotic masses but then when i looked at the crowd again i noticed it consisted of mainly two things:Guys who shave their eyebrows and girls who sharpie their eyebrows and/or lips.
Then it hit me.Really,REALLY?Fast and the Furious.And then it was hysterical to me that even though the movie came out Friday there was still people lining up on a Sunday afternoon to go see people flying like some crouching tiger shit from one car(that may or may not be in fire) to the next as it simultaneously falls down a cliff.
Anyway back to the point...Adventureland was a real surprise.I went in there with preconceived thoughts that it would be just OK and mildly funny.Well i actually ended up loving the movie.It was very sweet and it had the most amazing soundtrack Ive heard in quite some time.Lou Reed pretty much dominated this movie but it was set in the late 80's so there was also some good "I don't wanna lose your love toniiiight" thrown in the mix.Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg have great natural chemistry that translated on screen really really well.Her and Robert Pattinson(ugh yes i saw Twilight)made me feel squirmy and her awkwardness is really off putting.Kristen Stewart seems to only embody the awkward brooding teenager but in this movie it really worked and in one scene she actually surprised me by not wringing her hands or pulling at her hair and showing some real raw emotion.
Jesse Eisenberg was puppy adorable and i connected so well with his character i felt like i knew him,or at least copied his test in class or something.I can see people who aren't familiar with him(The Squid and the Whale and The Village)to find his timidness and geekiness to be similar to Micheal Cera.But he definitely has a charm that Michael can't touch.Also i can't even begin to explain how subtly hilarious Kristen Wiig was and Bill Hader was as always totally hysterical.
All in all in was a great movie and a nice surprise and I would recommend you catch it if you get the chance.
i can't wait to see this.
