This is what I'm saying. It's playing at other locations of all the big 3 (Odeon, Cineworld, Vue), but none happen to be here?

Re: Trying to find Adventureland (mini rant)
America had this problem, limited release, and hidden behind lots of other films too.
Your best bet is to take a trip to a cinema further away, and make a day of it.

Re: Trying to find Adventureland (mini rant)
It's a average film, but no way good enough to travel from Oxford to Reading for... wait for the DVD - but that's just my opinion!IamJen wrote:Okay after seeing around 9,362 previews for this flick, I'd been looking forward to seeing it on opening weekend. However, it's not playing anywhere in Oxford! Nothing this past week, and zilch tomorrow at our two resident Odeons, the Phoenix (Picturehouse), and a Vue. Neither is it at the Cineworld in Didcot.
What's up with this? I'd really like to see this movie, but not sure I want to travel to Reading for it.
Yikes!

I saw this on the flight back from Thailand and hadn't heard anything about it, I viewed it with no preconceptions and I was absolutely engaged from the first reel. Really beautiful film with a vintage quality about it. Reminded me of the teen-angst films of the early 90s' and yes, that is a compliment 
The old guy of the cast, the one in the Proposal, did look odd amongst the cast of 'yoofs' though but hey he was playing a paedo!

Thanks for the opinions. The man is off to France on business for a couple of days next week, so I may take an afternoon journey down to Reading (it's like 22 minutes on the train) and check it out.

Re: Adventureland
Finally, i managed to get to a screening before it went. I was not disappointed. At first i wasn't so sure where the film was going or what points it was trying to get out there, but i enjoyed every minute of it. The cast was fantastic, Stewarts quirkiness was perfect for the role of Em. Reynolds took a step back from his usual main man role but still gave an excellent performance. Martin Starr (from freaks and geeks woop woop) as joel played the classic geeky guy with glasses and was great.
Great ending, definately recommend
