Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
For nostalgia junkies, it's one from the heart.

Village Voice - Unnamed
I've seen Mottola's movie twice, and both times, it has inspired feelings of joy, sadness, and a profound yearning for the unrecoverable past.

Premiere - Unnamed
On the surface, this might look like a typical teen movie, but Adventureland’s talented cast perfectly portrays the self-loathing and strong-minded characters in that transient post-college stage of life.
88
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The result is a sharp, insightful, charming motion picture.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
What makes the movie such an unexpectedly potent little number is that Adventureland comes to stand for Stagnationland; the real roller coaster (i.e., life) is just outside the park.
