Adventureland (2009)

Comedy, Drama, Romance |

Adventureland is a American comedy-drama film written and directed by Greg Mottola. Set in the summer of 1987, recent college grad James Brennan is making big plans to tour Europe and attend graduate school in pursuit of a career in journalism. However, financial problems force him to look for a summer job instead of traveling abroad, which places him at Adventureland, a run-down amusement park in western Pennsylvania. There he meets Emily Lewin, a co-worker with whom he develops a quick rapport and relationship.

In 1987, James Brennan plans to have a summer vacation in Europe after graduating with a comparative literature degree from Oberlin College and to attend a journalism graduate school at Columbia University when his summer ends. A few days after his graduation, his parents advise him to seek a part-time job rather than going to Europe when they unexpectedly announce that financial problems have taken a toll on them and they would be unable to financially support him.

After being rejected from every other job he applies to due to a lack of any real work experience, James gets a job at Adventureland, a local amusement park in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where his childhood friend Tommy Frigo works. Assistant manager Bobby assigns James to the games section, despite James’ preference of working on rides. He later meets his new co-workers: the sarcastic Joel; Bobby’s wife and park manager Paulette; Sue O’Malley; Mark; the alluring but vapid rides worker Lisa P.; and the park’s technician, Mike Connell, a part-time musician who claims to have once jammed with Lou Reed, James’ musical idol.
