Amy, a naive college graduate who believes she's destined to be a great poet, begrudgingly accepts a job at a sex shop while she pursues a mentorship with reclusive writer Rat Billings.
'Adult World' is one of a long line of these 'charming black comedies' that seem to be everywhere right now.
It's almost as if the creative powers that be were given a simple brief
Now, I like Emma Roberts as an actress, so it was fun to see her playing a character with lots of different sides (sweet, flirty, neurotic etc.) but this film doesn't really work.
Does it want to focus on the idea of a prude working in an adult movie store? Or is it the story of a girl learning from a crotchety old mentor? Nobody seems to know, so we get a mix of both that is uneven. John Cusack seems to be doing a Bill Murray impression as well.
A nice attempt at a lot of things. Unsuccessful in them all.
