From the director of Superbad comes this surprisingly sweet, restrained comedy about a college grad (Jesse Eisenberg) trudging his way through summer as a carnival worker. As he meets various oddballs and falls for the dramatic Em (Kristen Stewart, following through on her promise from Twilight and Into the Wild), the movie perfectly captures that fleeting, magical joy of summer romance and coming of age. If - like us - you're missing John Hughes nowadays, or if you just want to see one of the more underrated and best films released this year, then take a trip through Adventureland.

The Informers Typical dark, chilling and ultimately boring material from Bret Easton Ellis, involving beautiful people, copious amounts of drugs, all-night parties and hedonism. Sometimes it sounds more fun than it is.
