Summary: 1 Stars
This is a terrible movie that they had to stretch to make it to that 88 minute mark. "Post Grad" was directed by Vicky Jenson and written by Kelly Fremon. It stars Alexis Bledel as Ryden Malby, a college graduate who had her whole life planned out until the job of her dreams gets taken by her valedictorian rival. She is oblivious to the advances of her guitar-toting, eskimo-pie-offering best friend, her family is nuts, and even the hot guy across the street who was Laura Linney's interest in Love Actually can't make it any better.
All Alexis Bledel has going for her in this movie are her huge watery blue eyes. The rest feels like throwaway lines for her, I don't even get the sense that she's trying all that hard. Jane Lynch plays her mother and I love Jane Lynch and was sad to see her so poorly utilized. The one-note mother character could have been played by anyone and she never got to flex her comedic muscle. Michael Keaton seemed to be in a different movie than everyone else just being over the top eccentric and I was horrified that his character running over a cat was actually written into this story! It's morbid, awkward, and is only used as a device to get Alexis closer to Rodrigo Santoro who is certainly yummy-looking, but is little else in this. Poor Carol Burnett has probably never sunk lower as Grandma Maureen, a woman who believes she is at death's door and is cranky to everyone but again, not FUNNY. Why have these actors if you're going to use them so badly?? And the best friend played by Zach Gilford is nothing memorable, you will forget his face as soon as the movie ends.
That all being said, the only thing going for this movie is the concept of the wake-up call to young people out there who plan everything out - get good grades, get scholarship, go to college, get good job, live happily ever after. You can do all those steps but your college degree is not worth as much as it used to be. From experience I can say I am a college grad and I am not using my degree. But that led me to starting my own business and I couldn't be happier so you don't know what path you will end up on but keeping an open mind and working hard can get you there. Ryden's naivety is a valid message, but the movie's comedy is weak, the acting is poor, the writing is terrible, and the 30+ minutes of filler with the family that they added just to have a full length film really shows.
Description of Post Grad
Ryden Malby (Alexis Bledel) has a master plan. Graduate college, get a great job, hang out with her best friend (Zach Gilford) and find the perfect guy. But her plan spins hilariously out of control when she?s forced to move back home with her eccentric family. By the time she lands her dream job, Ryden realizes it?s meaningless without the man of her dreams...and the people she loves.Michael Keaton, Jane Lynch (?Glee?) and Carol Burnett co-star in this offbeat romantic comedy that proves you can still end up on top, even when your life is turned upside-down!

Alexis Bledel brings all of her Gilmore Girls adorability to bear on Post Grad. Brand-new college graduate Ryden Malby (Bledel) has her future all mapped out--but when she loses her dream job with a publishing firm to her long-time school nemesis, she has to move back in with her family. Here the movie comes alive, because her family is played by such old pros as Michael Keaton, Jane Lynch (co-star of numerous Christopher Guest comedies), and Carol Burnett. All of them get to wallow in entertaining eccentricities that pretty much steal the movie away from Bledel. Not because she?s a bad actress--on the contrary, she?s quite charming--but because the problems she faces don?t amount to much. She has to hold some jobs that she doesn?t like and she has to choose between the handsome indie-rocker/law student who?s always been in love with her (Zach Gilford, Friday Night Lights) and the handsome Brazilian infomercial director who lives across the street (Rodrigo Santoro, completely unrecognizable from his role in 300). We should all have such problems. Post Grad, much like Ryden herself, succeeds in the engaging moments of character goofiness and haphazard incidents, but doesn?t really know what it wants to do with itself when it grows up. --Bret Fetzer
