Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Adventureland isn't as clever as Kicking, and not nearly as hilarious as Superbad, but it's still a sweet little memory ache, a Proustian cookie co-flavored with semiotics and Whitesnake.

rotten:
The youths of Superbad were a little bit younger, a little more likable, their dirty-virgin wit more hilarious [than in Adventureland].

Audiences expecting another dumb wallow will be startled, and I hope enlivened, by this movie's core of feeling.

fresh:
The story is semi-autobiographical, but has a gentler touch than his prior work on Superbad, and certainly relies less on slapstick episodes.

As a sweet-natured character comedy - and a subtle exercise in generic boundary-pushing - this is a real charmer.
