Adventureland (2009 Greg Mottola & scr)

Actually this all arose because I saw Richard Ayoade being very funny about Robert Redford, but the really funny thing was how much Jesse Eisenberg was cracking up:


Anyway, he's a great actor and his talents are well displayed here in unusual story about the most honest of young men and his tribulations with girlfriend Kristen Stewart, her lover Ryan Reynolds (it's reminiscent of The Apartment in plotting), 'other woman' Margarita Levieva, arsehole 'friend' Matt Bush etc. Familiar faces in Kristen Wiig (who's actually doing exactly the same bit of acting from Knocked Up), Bill Hader, Martin Starr.

Terry Stacey (50/50, Dear John, P.S. I Love You, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) on camera, Anne McCabe editing.
