Adventureland (2009)

The advertising for this made it appear to be along the lines of Superbad, which it is not. I don't see how it could be protrayed as a comedy since it's not funny. It's the story of a college student who plans to go to grad school and then finds out his parents are not going to give him the money they promised him.

Consequently he gets a summer job at the local amusement park as his degree in comparative literature, and lack of previous work history keep him from getting every other job he pursues.

The movie follows his romance with a fellow worker who is having an affair with a married man, and his interactions with other people at work.

Actually the best thing about this movie is that whoever picked the soundtrack did a really great job.
