Post Grad is the story of a girl with a plan—the perfect plan. School, work, she’s got it all figured out—until the plan fails.
Ryden Malby’s life seems to fall apart after her college graduation, when she is forced to move back in with her (slightly kooky) family after she doesn’t get her dream job—in fact, she can’t seem to get any job at all. Her relationship with her best friend is faltering, and she just can’t seem to get her act together. Played by Alexis Bledel, Ryden reminds us of Rory, the character we all know and love from Gilmore Girls, but is different enough for us to believe that she is not the same person. The roles of Ryden’s parents are played by Michael Keaton and Jane Lynch, ensuring that the viewer is always kept smiling. There is some romance for the girls, and some comedy so that the boyfriends don’t fall asleep on the couch. All in all, Post Grad is a well-rounded comedy with a little something for everyone—perfect for watching in groups, with your family or by yourself.
This film also serves to remind us all of a valuable lesson: life doesn’t always work out the way you expected—which is not always a bad thing.
