Going Nuts Over The Slow: Adventureland Reviewed



From A. O. SCOTT, The NYTIMES:

“Adventureland” sometimes seems to lose track of just which movie it is, and its sprawling narrative encompasses some soft spots and patches of inconsistency. The worst of these comes near the end, with a failure of compassion on James’s part that seems to owe more to the demands of the plot than the logic of the character. And at times Mr. Mottola lays on the suburban adolescent malaise with too heavy a hand."

It reminds me of the line of Jesse Eisenberg's role in The Squid and The Whale:
"I felt I could have written it. So the fact that it's already written is just kind of a technicality."

Plagiarize.
