PLOT SUMMARY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fresh out of college, quirky but na\u00efve Amy (EMMA ROBERTS) is convinced she\u2019s going to be a famous poet \u2013 she just needs someone to finally acknowledge her greatness. But being unemployed and saddled with debt, her prospects for literary fame look grim. At the behest of her parents, she takes a job at a local sex toy shop, Adult World, where she juggles her newfound retail responsibilities with pursuing a mentorship under a reclusive, crusty and alcoholic poet (JOHN CUSACK). But as Amy tries to make her voice heard among a social circle of eccentrics, including Adult World\u2019s adorable young manager Alex (EVAN PETERS), she discovers that a little humility may be just what she needs to achieve her success.<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Adult World<\/em><\/strong> takes stage, reading bad poetry, on DVD presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio. The picture more or less looks like any other low budget release with artifacts galore and colors are, intentionally probably, muted.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Dolby Digital 5.1 track offers relatively clear dialogue along with some decent depth for the score and music.<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, Adult World<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t perfect with a clumsy story but the performances by Emma Roberts and John Cusack are both quite good and the film itself is at least watchable though has a limited replay value. The DVD doesn\u2019t have much with minimal features and so-so video\/audio transfers.<\/p>\n
