"Adventureland" has the feel of teen movies both from the 80's and 90's (more the 80's though). You have a sensitive character who is still trying to figure out who he is, and by a sequence of events, falls in love and more importantly, finds his true self. What makes the movie even more appealing is that it not only doesn't treat its characters as generic stereotypes, but as humans, which makes them more appealing to the audience.
Our main character here is James (played perfectly by Jessie Eisenberg) who has just graduated college and is looking forward to his trip to Europe with his fellow pal. The trip is not only supposed to be his graduation present, but also a way to escape his recent heartbreak, due to an emotional breakup. Things unfortunately go south with his finances, which forces him to get a job at the local amusement park. There he meets some interesting people: the two owners (Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig), nerdy Joel (the likable Martin Starr) and the beautiful "Em" (Kristen Stewert).
James and Em quickly fall for each other, but there is one small problem, she is in a very dysfunctional relationship with Connell (Ryan Reynolds), who plays the married park maintenance guy. Reynolds, who usually adds the goofy humor to every film he is in, holds back to really give the character a deepness...
This is a movie that Hollywood doesn't make anymore; a sweet, smart, moving and humorous experience...

A lonely Casey meddles in Rusty's new romance with Jordan. Elsewhere, Calvin finally gets a new roommate, and then he discovers that the guy has a surprising secret; and Evan and Cappie reignite their rivalry, this time over a secret-society member.

Awkward study teams seem to be forming as midterms approach: Cappie's team features only women, from Casey to the pair of girls he's been dating, and Rusty's art history group which contains Jordan. Meanwhile, after having her car towed away, Rebecca seeks the help of Evan to retrieve her laptop. Meanwhile, Andy and Jordan fight and break up, but then he apologises and asks to get back together. However Rusty tells her he cant just be friends with her, as he has fallen for her. Later at the beginning of a mid term, Jordan declares her feelings for Rusty, telling him she has fallen for him as well.

Last-but-one episode of GRΣΣK 's second successful season:

In an attempt to impress Cappie, Rusty tries to solve a mystery involving a secret society he stumbles across on campus. Meanwhile, some of Frannie's defectors ask a very reluctant Casey to return to the ZBZ house, and Rebecca seeks dating advice from Calvin as she prepares to go out with Robin.

Casey sneaks Max into a faculty party, thanks to help from Dale, so he can meet a visiting professor that needs an intern. Meanwhile, Ashleigh struggles in making her relationship with Fisher public. Additionally, the KTs discover a secret stash of stolen campus goods inside the house which turned out to have been put there on orders from Evan Chambers, and Rusty and Andy get caught by security while returning a winning football after Rusty told his little brother about his kissing Jordan at the wedding, which began his downfall as a big brother. As a result Rusty loses an angry Jordan as a friend and Andy as a pledge, gets a reminder from Casey of his selfishness and finally nets a loss of some respect from Cappie after he told him about his kissing Andy's own girl immediately following the pledge's departure. Finally, Max leaves for Oxford as Casey and Rusty see him off.

A terrific film around the innocence of the seventies with a very good acting as well.
The film's themes deal with love, change and facing one's fears and all characters come to life. Jason Ritter plays a fearsome character, but just as the protagonist, Charlie Banks, expressed his need to "protect" him. The real star, however, is Jesse Eisenberg, who plays the lovable Charlie Banks. His sincerity and genuine concern for others will rightfully take an emotional toll on you...
The climax of The Education of Charlie Banks satisfies the viewer in a way it answers questions of character and of lessons learned. A must see for drama fans...

When Frannie challenges the sisterhood of ZBZ girls, and Casey retaliates by challenging the IKI’s to a game of dodgeball. The dodgeball game is also part of the effort by Casey and Ashleigh to win over Jordan, ZBZ’s new pledge, who reveals that she doesn’t think the sorority, is the place for her. Determined to change her mind, Casey and Ashleigh attempt to give Jordan a ZBZ makeover. Meanwhile, Rusty struggles with the fact that Dale is so in love with their new apartment that he never leaves, so Rusty enlists the Kappa Tau’s to invade the house to scare him away. But the plan backfires when the landlord shows up the next morning with a tour ‘they live in a model apartment’, and upon finding remains from the night’s escapades, evicts the boys much to the chagrin of Casey, whose name is on the lease.
