Adventureland
Whiney virgin takes a bad job. Big fucking deal. Everyone in the film is a loser, which makes for a couple of entertaining moments, but all the pathos in this film comes from the soundtrack.
The lead supposedly just graduated college, but he acts like he just graduated high school. Feels like a rewrite that never got fully adjusted.
There isn't one descent example of manhood in the whole film. Watching this one with my son I found myself repeatedly telling him "don't ever be this guy." Don't be the self-doubting pussy who can't seal the deal. Don't be the married guy who cheats with young girls. Don't be the asshole who punches people in the balls for no reason.
4/10
