Adventureland
Enjoy some classic Jesse Eisenberg comedy with this lighthearted look at amusement park workers one summer in 1987. Ryan Reynolds and Kristen Stewart co-star as the other two sides of a love triangle, but this isn't just a rom-com, it's all about life lessons and growing up (and partying. Lots of partying). Definitely one for fans of Zombieland and American Ultra.
