ADVENTURELAND

I know that the Fast and the Furious was the big movie of the weekend, but I didn't go see that because, well, it was gay!!!!!!!!  I mean come on, how many times do we need to see illegal street racing with the same people?????  Instead I saw the movie Adventureland.  A movie that LOOKED like it was a comedy about a teen that worked at an amusement park for a summer.  Turns out it was a college graduate that was trying to pay to move to New York and go to Columbia.  Because back in 1987 you could afford Columbia with a shitty summer job.  Oh, and the other thing about this movie is that it's not funny.  NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!  Its about this stupid slacker who goes to work and falls for a chick that is competely out of his league.  She happens to be having an affair with an older cooler guy that works at the park too, so this kid really has no shot in the real world.  Blah, blah, blah, happily ever after and all that shit.  The really crappy thing about this movie is that it really didn't live up to the '80s setting at all.  Some of the clothes and things were right, but really nothing else was.  The music was close, but I liked the Wedding Singer the first time I saw it.  I'm sick and tired of these movies that lie to us in the previews.  This movie shouldn't have been called Adventureland, but We Are Going to Bore the Shit Out of You for about Two Hours!!!!!!  I know that's a really long title, and probably won't make the cut due to the curse word in there, but maybe mention that is the theme of the movie, rather than your going out and looking for a laugh.  By the way a message to the lead actor in the movie, whoever the fuck you are, the guy from Superbad and Juno called and says he wants his complete persona back you shitty fuck!!!!!!!  I hated this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!
