 1987. A Young graduate is getting ready to take his summer abroad to go get some foreign pussy, because he's too much of a nerd to get it at home and foreigners apparently put out. I mean... they must or every single movie would not revolve around guys going abroad to get laid. Right? Anyway, dad loses his job and can't help pay for the trip, so instead he has to stay home and get a job at a crappy amusement park.

 The trailer led me to believe this would be a total laugh riot. It's not, but I think I liked it as much. It's got plenty of laughs, but it's part comedy part coming of age drama. Kristen Stewart, doing much better here than in Twilight, is getting it on with the creepy old married guy that plays guitar (Ryan Reynolds, Yay!) She meets James (Jesse Eisenberg) and they become friends and then more.

 This is a pretty good one. A lot of great music that really takes you back. It's got the laughs, the love, all the elements of a good film. Go check it out!

Verdict: * * *
