And, for the annotated version:
"6. Adventureland: Greg Mottola’s note-perfect coming-of-age story with the melancholy, humor, and soundtrack of a Cameron Crowe film. Set in the ’80s at a decrepit amusement park, the movie follows its college-age employees through one fumbling-toward-adulthood summer. Jesse Eisenberg, Ryan Reynolds, and a better-than-Bella Kristen Stewart form the primary love triangle, wringing all the awkwardness, yearning, and bliss of this snapshot of life that will resonate with anyone who’s lived through it."
