MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Post Grad
Ryden Malby had a plan. Do well in high school, thereby receiving a great college scholarship. Now, that she's finally graduated college, it's time for her to find a gorgeous loft apartment and land her dream job at the city's best publishing house. But when Jessica Bard, Ryden's college nemesis steals her perfect job, Ryden is forced to move back to her childhood home. Stuck with her eccentric family--a stubborn do-it-yourself dad, an overly thrifty mom, a politically incorrect grandma, a very odd little brother--and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden starts to feel like she's going nowhere. The only upside is spending time with her best friend, Adam--and running into her hot next-door neighbor, David. But if Ryden's going to survive life as a post grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan.

"Post Grad" has a great cast and a timely premise - a college grad bounces back home when she can't find a job in the rotten economy. The movie then works vigorously to squander both talent and timeliness, devolving into a girlish romantic comedy about a young woman (Alexis Bledel) who (yawn) chooses between two suitors - the sensitive tag-a-long weenie (acoustic guitar, yearning ballads) who really loves her and the sexy Brazilian himbo (stubble, designer glasses) who wants to bed her.

A horror tale for recent college graduates and their parents, Post Grad - starring the Gilmore Girls' Alexis Bledel - is about what happens when that diploma turns out to be useless, there are no jobs, and the old bedroom with the teddy bears gets dusted off for a return visit. Back home, extended stay.
