Lou Reed


52. “Adventureland”

Kelsey liked this film much more than I did. She found it quite cute. It was kinda cute. Maybe I just have a problem with the lead, Jesse Eisenberg, I didn’t like him in “The Squid and the Whale” and everybody liked that film. It must be me.

It’s obvious the film was a love letter from the director to his formative years. It’s shot well, scored well and acted well. I enjoyed the detail given to the amusement park. Shots of the park in the autumn worked best. It made me want to visit Great America, which I did a few weeks later.

Kristen Stewart was great. Worth the rental.
