WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

DESCRIPTION:

From the director of Superbad comes Adventureland, a smart, witty comedy we can all relate to. When James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) has to cancel his dream summer vacation and make some money for grad school, the only job he can get is at Adventureland, a tacky amusement park where the games are rigged and the rides make you hurl. But it's where he meets Em (Kristen Stewart, Twilight), and his rollercoaster ride to nowhere turns into the best summer ever. Filled with a carnival of colorful characters and set to a killer soundtrack, Adventureland is "the kind of adventure we could all use more of" (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times).

Writer/Director Greg Mottola wrote this film based on his experiences working at the real Adventureland amusement park in Farmingdale, NY when he was young. He originally had planned to shoot the film there, however the park had changed so drastically from the time he was employed there he decided to film instead at an amusement park known as Kennywood Park in Pittsburg, PA because it more closely resembled his memories.
