For most people, there's nothing particularly cinematic about romance. The beginning of a relationship is awkward, frequently cringe-worthy and at times can feel like two people desperately trying to salvage every social interaction they have. But then, as if by magic, something clicks, and all the graceless and gawky floundering no longer matters.

2009's Adventureland, directed by Greg Mottola, is a film that sums up this transition perfectly. Starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, the movie is sweet, genuine and hilarious; there's a reality to the central relationship that's as welcome as it is uncommon in your usual comedy, and it's sure to fan the flames of any potential romance.

Besides, it's hardly possible to come across as more awkward than Jesse Eisenberg. His skilful mastery of the art of bumbling is sure to make anyone €seem confident and socially adept to members of the opposite sex.
