We've had to wait a while for Greg Mottola's funny, heartfelt coming of age comedy. But we can now enjoy the trials and tribulations of James (Jesse Eisenberg) as he negotiates his first summer job, finds love and deals with the weird co-workers at a shabby amusement park.

Don't go in expecting a Superbad-style gross-out-a-thon - this is something a little more subtle.

Cine-Trivia: Adventureland is the name of a real park that Mottola worked at in his younger days. He was going to shoot there, but the place has been radically redesigned since then.
