It's the summer of 1987, and James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg), a comparative literature major has just graduated from Oberlin College. At an end of the year party, James' girlfriend of less than two weeks breaks up with him. His friends blame it on the fact that he disclosed his virginity to her and she was unimpressed. James is set to embark on his dream tour of Europe when his parents (Wendie Malick and Jack Gilpin) announce that they won't be able to subsidize his trip, as his father has been transferred to a new job with less pay. James is unhappy because the trip was promised as his graduation present. Then his parents explain that because of the job change they are unable to pay for his graduate education at Columbia University.
James moves in with his parents and begins to explore possible job options. He is rejected from most based on his lack of experience and literary degree. James then interviews for a job as a games host at Adventureland, a local amusement park in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
James is hired on the spot by the manager, Bobby (Bill Hader). That day he meets some of his co-workers, the dry and sarcastic Joel (Martin Starr), Frigo (Matt Bush), his former childhood arch-nemesis who constantly punches James in the testicles, Sue O'Malley (Paige Howard), Mark (Mark Miller) and Lisa P. (Margarita Levieva), along with the park's married but flirtatious repairs technician Mike Conell (Ryan Reynolds), a part time musician who claims to have once played a gig with Lou Reed. James is unhappy with his work because of the long hours and very low pay.
While the job seems disastrous, things pick up when James meets fellow games worker Emily "Em" Lewin (Kristen Stewart), after she saves him from getting knifed by a disgruntled customer. The same day she saves him, she invites him to a party at her house. During the party, Em tells James about her vile stepmother, Francie (Mary Birdsong), who several times attempts to manipulate her future so that Emily takes the career Francie wants. The two go for a swim in Em's pool, where it's clear that James is starting to develop feelings towards Em. After the party ends, it's revealed that Em has been having an affair with Conell, who had been cheating on his wife with different girls.
The next day, James asks Em to out with him for a drink, and Em accepts. While the two are at a bar, James accidentally reveals his virginity to Em, something which she finds "kinda pathetic, yet cute". When Conell arrives at the bar, Em asks to leave, which they do. After they leave the bar, Em and James go to sit by a local river, where they kiss.
