Okay, it’s not a Superbad sequel, it’s actually called Adventureland, and it’s director Greg Mottola’s follow-up to Superbad, based on his own experience working a crappy summer job at an amusement park in the 80s.  That it’s set in 1987 is apropos, considering Superbad is the most feel-good 80s style movie I’ve seen in a long time.  It wasn’t always laugh out loud funny, but it always had that sense of fun that you got in movies like Ferris Bueller or Tommy Boy, where even jokes that didn’t make you laugh still made you smile. And yeah, maybe that sounds queer, but screw you, so’s your face.

Anyway, Adventureland stars that dude with the stupid hair, the timid chick from Twilight, my love Kristen Wiig, and Ryan Reynolds, who naturally plays “the handsome cool guy”.  It must suck always getting typecast like that.
