DVD Description
A recent graduate is unable to land her dream job and is forced to move back to the San Fernando Valley, home of her oddball family. While having no luck finding a job and being slowly driven crazy by her family, the graduate has a brief fling with an older British neighbour--before realising that her platonic best friend, who is about to move to New York City to attend law school, is her true love.

as a recent graduate, Ryden's situation is completley relatable and for that reason I enjoyed the movie! Sure, it's not the best movie in the world and it won't be winning any awards but as far as light hearted (rom)coms go it was sweet and funny!

I got this film because I love Gilmore Girls and wanted to watch it because "Rory" (Alexis Bledel) is in it. It's not the best film, but it is good fun to just switch off and not have to think about anything for a while.
Alexis' chracter is relatble as she is going through a situation many gradutes are and for the most part is likeable, other than at times her treatment of her friend who is clearly in love with her.
It is somewhat predictable, but tthen again most films these days are. There was a bit near the end that I didn't see coming suprised and annoyed me, but other than this I thought it was a good film.

Contrary to some reviews, 'Post Grad' is by no means a terrible film. In fact, it has the potential to be rather a good one. Alexis Bledel puts in a characteristically strong performance as Ryden Malby, a young woman torn between dreams of her perfect job at a publishing company, the interests of a handsome neighbour, and the companionship of her childhood friend, Adam (Zach Gilford). Factor in the well-handled tender moments between Ryden and Adam, and there's all the makings of an interesting, moving film. Unfortunately 'Post Grad' never achieves the right balance. The film moves around far too fast, moving between tense, emotional scenes and daft family happenings, in a way that makes the film feel jerky and awkward. Things in 'Post Grad' never have the chance to settle or develop like they could do, before the tone is shifted; usually to some improbable scenario involving Ryden's rather annoying father. The film's zipping pace also means that none of the film's central issues really get the time they deserve. The twists and turns in Ryden and Adam's relationship are rushed over, and due to this, it's hard to really engage with either character, or their relationships. Equally, 'Post Grad''s comedic side leaves rather a lot to be desired. Gone is the nicely understated touch of Ryden's more personal moments, and instead the viewer is left with cats being run over, characters stepping in poo, and other such formulaic 'comedy'. For fans of Alexis Bledel, her performance here will make 'Post Grad' worth a watch, and in honesty, there are far worse films to pass the time with; it's just a shame 'Post Grad' didn't have some smarter jokes, a bit more time on developing its plot and characters, and a few less stereotypically 'batty' relatives breaking up the plot. Otherwise, I imagine I'd be sitting here giving it 3 or 4 stars.

Sexism ... alive and kickin' in 2012.
Apart from being trite, poor written and about as romantic as a baked potato, the message this movie sends to young women is doom laden.

Funny and romantic
This is perfect for all Alexis Bledel fans, because it see's her in a character that is similar to Rory in the Gilmore Girls. It is a good film.

Alexis - yes, film - no.
As much as I love Alexis Bledel I was struggling to finish watching this film. It's just so incredibly dull... The script was O.K. but the storytelling quite dreadful. Read more

If you keep dogs you may end up stepping in this movie. Some directors should show some consideration and poop and scoop

Disappointed
A couple of years ago, this movie would have been rated 15 because of language. I'm disappointed that you now find strong language in 12s. Read more

PostGrad.
This is by no means a bad film, however it gets very boring very quickly and there is nothing to set it apart from any other romance film. Read more
