Bryan Lienesch53 - Slow moving and fairly well done, but not the side-splitting comedy some may hope it is
Dan O'Neill45 - Adventureland has a nicer and sweeter tone than most teen comedies, and some fun in the script, but it doesn’t have as much as fun as I think it could have, and ultimately just feels forgettable, except for the memory of the awesome Lou Reed song.
