What You Need To Know:
POST GRAD holds together as a movie only because of Alexis Bledel’s performance as Ryden. She is charming and fun. The story is weak, however, resulting in Michael Keaton and Carol Burnett doing unfunny things and saying unfunny dialogue. The directing is average, with very little to recommend. Regrettably, the movie contains plenty of foul language. Also, Ryden and the next-door neighbor, in the throes of passion, start to disrobe in order to be sexual, but they are interrupted. The movie does show that family and relationships are more valuable than success in business. Otherwise, POST GRAD must be approached with caution.

POST GRAD is the story of success driven recent graduate Ryden suddenly having her post graduate plans unravel. Ryden does not land her dream job and must move back home with her quirky family. She struggles to find a job while her father tries to get her involved in one harebrained scheme after another.
Ryden’s best friend, Adam, longs to be more than friends with Ryden, but she won’t return the feelings. Ryden becomes enamored with the next-door neighbor and forgets about an important event with Adam. This causes Adam to decide to leave her for good and move to New York for law school.
