When his father receives a demotion at work, James, a sweet natured recent graduate, is forced to abandon his trip to Europe and take a job at Adventureland (a rather rubbishy theme park), where he meets and falls for Em, a gorgeous but troubled young woman, who is having an affair with a married, struggling musician, in Mottola’s very likable if rather familiar comedy-drama.
