As someone who lives in Pittsburgh I have time and time again had my interest, or lack thereof, questioned in terms of local artists, events, foods and beverages. There have been far too many times that a person will say to me “what do you mean you don’t listen Christina Aguilera? You’re from Pittsburgh” or “how can you say that Iron City Beer is terrible? You’re from Pittsburgh.” People seem willing to assume that just because I hail from the same place as something I will ignore how bad that thing is and fall in love with it because it came from near where I do. Unfortunately for Christina, Iron City and now the “comedy” movie Adventureland, that is something I am simply not willing to do.

Danny McBride is not a name that evokes any kind of cinematic memories for most people, I would bet. Some people might say “yeah, I knew a Danny McBride. I think he was in my French class, er…wait…maybe he was on my youth soccer team back in the day.” But while such a statement may or may not be true, chances are the Danny McBride who stars in the movie The Foot Fist Way is not the same one that the above quoted person was thinking about.
