Synopsis: Trailer

Boo...

I thought this was going to be another Disney attraction turned epic.

If this is rated R, it really needs a red band trailer.

It feels like a mix between Superbad and Wet Hot American Summer, but you know, without the funny.

Ill watch it. The trailer looked good

I'll see it just for Ryan Reynolds.

I think it looks good. They should have just casted Michael Cera though, instead of this obvious Cera-esque kid.

Looks good. I'm there

looks very funny and I like Jesse Eisenburg, he was good in Roger Dodger and Squid and the Whale.

Mixed feelings, but I'll probably see it.

Nothing particularly funny about that trailer for me.

I believe it's supposed to be more of a Outside Providence-type dramedy than a pure teen comedy.

Looks like it's going to Sundance ...

* "Adventureland," directed and written by Greg Mottola, stars Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds and Bill Hader in the story of a college grad who gets a job at an amusement park. A Miramax release.

I loved the red band trailer. Really looking forward to this one. Personally I can't stand Cera's terrible acting, so I'm more than willing to give this kid a shot. Hader, Starr and Reynolds all were great in the trailers I saw.

doesn't look like anything special. almost like i've seen this stuff before and Ryan Reynolds looks just so out of place.

Red band trailer looked pretty funny -- will likely check this out.

Any other Long Islander's here? There's an amusement park here named Adventureland. It's a small piece of crap but if you grew up on LI chances are you've spent a fair amount of your youth at Adventureland. I doubt there's any real connection (I'd check but I can't access the trailer or IMDB at work). I may watch the movie soley because of the name.

Nothing in the trailer really seemed '1987' to me... seems like another supposedly retro movie that tries to play off nostalgia by throwing in a few vaguely 80s touches, with no care as to what part of the decade they are actually sampling from. It's like a 2009 teenager's idea of what the 80s were like.

Matthew Star was signing autographs at Wondercon a few weeks ago for this movie.

There's an Adventureland in Des Moines too. I haven't been there in 15 years or so.

this is getting really good reviews. 86% with 74 at RT. anyone see this yet?

I really want to. It got a great write up here. Hopefully this will be another sleeper hit for Greg Mattola and crew.

I really want to see this movie. It got an awesome review that I read on CHUD, giving the movie a 9 out of 10. That is pretty impressive.

I saw an advanced screening. It is a good movie. I went into it expecting VERY little, as the trailer left me underwhelmed, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I for one, am glad they did not cast Cera in the role; I honestly don't think he would have fit the role and the tone of the movie. It is indeed a comedy, but there is a lot of 'drama' as well.

The cast works well together: Eisenberg, Starr, Hader,and Reynolds are all excellent. Stewart is the weakest link for sure, but doesn't drag it down too much.

I went in expecting a knock-off of Superbad, etc. and ended up finding a more serious and driven movie than I had expected. If you get a chance to check it out, I suggest you do.

Saw it last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. There are several very funny moments.
