Why Didn't I Stop Watching Adventureland

I would often stop watching a movie in the first minute and I feel that the movie is going nowhere and I would rather stare at a lamp than continue but Adventureland caught my ears.

Full of humor and nostalgia, Adventureland is a sweet, insightful coming-of-age comedy that will resonate with teens and adults alike.

It didn't have much comedy as it promised but it is definitely WISE.

The story is nothing new, all about first love and all its complexities.



Kristin Stewart wasn't also that great in her character, it was like she wasn't even trying to act, she is not versatile as an actress or maybe she is just simply good at acting out messed up teenagers. I was like watching twilight but her leading man is a geek.

So why didn't I stop watching Adventureland when I know what is going to happen and I would probably be wasting more than an hour of my busy life? Its because of the cool soundtrack. I hope more movies would come up with an awesome soundtrack like this. I felt like I was warped into 1987, although I still didn't have any idea of the alphabet back then. Yo La Tengo and The Cure are untouchables, enough said.

ROCK ME AMADEUS, play that 20 times in a day.
