Adventureland Critic Reviews

  • "...a noticeably well-written film that has a genuine charm to it..." Los Angeles Times

    - Kenneth Turan

  • "...a more personal and layered comedy content to settle for subtler laughs, knowing smiles and a few cringes." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "...a rather ordinary account of youthful summer misadventures that goes down easily thanks to a sparky cast, more than 40 pop tunes that anchor the action in the late '80s and characters who get high both on and off their jobs..." Variety

    - Todd McCarthy
