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

Product Description

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Movie, January 13, 2010

Ryden Malby had it all figured out. Make good grades in high school, get a great college scholarship, keep the scholarship, graduate, and then work at the best publishing company in LA. Only things don't go quite as she planned. Instead of getting the job, she ends up unemployed and living with her crazy family once again.

Crazy is NOT an understatement.

Add on to that, a hot Brazillian neighbor and Adam, a guy who's been her best friend since freshman year, yet wants to be more. That's the plot.

The plot, while all over the place, works well for this movie. You're not sure what scheme one of the Malbys will come up with next. Will it be her father's plan to make a fortune online selling belt buckles or perhaps her grandmother (played by the ever amazing Carol Burnett) wanting to take a look at caskets? There's always something going on, with Ryden and her love life, or lack thereof, at the center of it all.

This movie defintely takes you for a ride. One that I really enjoyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry You Didn't Understand The Movie, November 26, 2010

By 

Stella Loves Amazon - See all my reviews

This review is from: Post Grad [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I don't understand the low reviews! I loved this movie, and people seemed to have completely missed the point of the movie. The movie wasn't about life after college, it was about life in general and how there is no certain plan for life, you just have to go with the flow, i loved the crazy family, it would really be boring if the family was just like alexis character wouldn't it! I thought this film was so endearing and held me to the end! I agree it was all over the place but it wasn't hard to follow unless you're stupid. I thought this movie was funny but i felt they weren't trying to be funny, it just was. I really liked the message of this movie, people are so busy trying to make life fit into their little plan that they are missing the fact that this is life, it's happening while you're busy trying to make things happen that just aren't meant to be. Give this movie a try if you liked whip it, martian child, new york minute, uptown girls. I guess people just have different tastes in movies but i really enjoyed it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel Good Movie That Gives Some Life Guidance, January 31, 2010

This review is from: Post Grad (DVD)

Post Grad is about a girl who is just like many others at this time. She graduated after trying really hard in college and unfortunately finds herself boomeranged back to her parents house, jobless. She is a doer and an achiever and tries to find a place to start her life, even if it means working in jobs that may or may not require a college degree. She, perhaps like a lot of graduates, was so sure of where she was going with her life. She was thrown off course when things didn't work out and along the way she made some right decisions and some wrong ones, but she lived and learned about what is important to her. It is about finding out whats important in life and going after it; whether it be in the work life or the love life. I think that it is a beautiful and uplifting story. Alexis Bledel was the perfect young actress to pick for the part and she did a superb job. I admit that there was some ridiculousness and silliness with her family, but I think it help make the movie uplifting and a lot of fun. I think the movie leaves the viewer with a smile in remembrance.

In response to a previous review, Feminists are people who want equal opportunity for women and men alike. Feminists want women to strive for the best that they can be and live out their lives to the fullest of potentials. The modern Feminist has a much more political tie-in and in point of fact has really nothing to do with the movie. But in terms of traditional feminism there isn't much to complain about. What her father meant was that its okay to take some risks and she has shown herself to be in control of her life even as a child (eating her vegetables without being told) and she was able to achieve her dreams while realizing other dreams, but doesn't that sometimes happen. Okay, so she left, but she remained the same person as she was at home, even when she went away to college, and now in a different city, she will be different? How does that logic make sense? Geography has nothing to do with success. You can fulfill your dreams no matter where you go as long as you have the determination to do so. She has already shown that she is a go getter. She'll be great in NY too!
