Strikes & Gutters: "Adventureland" movie review

Set in 1987, "Adventureland" follows the exploits of a recent college grad virgin who is forced to take a summer job at a local amusement park after his parents refuse to pay for grad school. There are a handful of moments that satisfy and most of them involve SNL's Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. This movie is further proof that Kristen Stewart's Whisper Acting most be catching on, because nearly all of the actors delivered their lines as if they needed a nap, which is how I felt about halfway through. Instead of picking an audience to speak to it tries to go after both generation X and Y. This movie falls short for both.
