Adventureland

I'm not going to make this review to long, but I just saw Adventureland and was just a little suprised at being the only group in the theater. The thing is directed and written by Greg Mottola, the director of Superbad. The main character in Adventureland is a lot like Michael Cera's character in Superbad. Much like Superbad it's based off of real life expieriences and when you watch it feels a lot less like a movie and a lot more like your hanging out with them. There's no grand plot, it's just a guy whose working at a summer job after highschool. (Based on Mottola's work at a Adventureland.) However it mixes some good acting from a relatively unpopular cast and a lot of quite humor that is similar to what you'd find in Superbad.

The best thing about this movie isn't that its funny. It really is a good coming-of-age comedy that makes some good points, and much like Superbad it really isn't just for people in their late teens. A adult crowd will find insight, humor, and probably some nostalgia in it themselves.

The last thing I'm going to do is finish this review without mentioning Martin Starr. The last I saw him was in the short-lived cult show Freaks and Geeks. He was amazing in his role and I'm glad to see him in a movie, even if he's just a supporting character.

So if you are looking for a comedy to watch this is probably your best pick. Unless your going to watch the Hannah Montana movie this weekend, which will probably be funnier...
