The Education of Charlie Banks'
Jesse Eisenberg as an uptight recent college graduate who discovers that he'll have to get a degrading minimum-wage job at a local amusement park instead of spending his summer drinking German beer, visiting world-class museums, and flirting with cute French girls. It's the summer of 1987, and
James Brennan (
Eisenberg) has just graduated college.
James is all set to embark on his dream tour of Europe when his parents (
Wendie Malick and
Jack Gilpin) suddenly announce that they won't be able to subsidize the trip. Now the only things
James has to look forward to this summer are sugar-fueled children, belligerent dads, and an endless parade of giant stuffed animals. When
James strikes up a relationship with captivating co-worker
Em (
Kristen Stewart), however, he finally starts to loosen up. Suddenly, the worst summer ever doesn't seem quite so bad.
