Adventureland is the story of James (Jesse Eisenberg), a young man whose life does not show much promise following his graduation from Oberlin College. His college girlfriend has dumped him, his parents have refused to finance his dream trip to Europe, and he is unable to go to graduate school. His only option becomes moving back in with his parents and taking a job at a theme park called Adventureland. What starts off as an awful job becomes an adventure itself. James ends up meeting a bunch of quirky characters including the manager Bobby (Bill Hader) and his wife Paulette (Kristen Wiig), a slacker handyman named Connell (Ryan Reynolds), and a beautiful college student (Kristen Stewart). By the end of the experience, James will have found love, learned lessons about life, and finally found the direction he needs to go forward in life.
