Post Grad is obviously not the greatest movie out there. It's not goingto win any awards, or be loved by the critics. However, it is still acute movie that allows you to escape for an hour and forty minutes. Ithas some really funny scenes, and has moral lessons to teach. It's notbeing received very well and I understand why. It's just a light,fluffy, little movie more suitable for the younger ages. I admit, itcould have been better but I wasn't expecting much from the beginning.It was simply a fun little comedy, and one that I'm sure many peoplecan relate to. I didn't find Alexis Bledel annoying. She gave the roleall it needed. Her love interest Zach Gilford, was cute and did adecent job. Michael Keaton was the funniest character hands down, andthe rest of Bledel's family offered much of the comedy in the film. Inall, it's an enjoyable film. I would recommend renting it though, it'snot really a theatre-worthy film.

This was a forgettable movie, very weak. It was really perky.
Iliked Alexis Bledel, but this was NOT a good movie. I mean some partswere funny and some other parts you just wanted to stick a fork in youreye. I actually went to the bathroom in the movie theater and I didn'thave to go because there was a stupid part. I mean come on. The moviewasn't the worse movie on Earth, it was bad though. However the onlything that didn't make me give a 1/10 to this movie was because ofMichael Keaton, I liked him. 
I don't recommend people to watch this movie. But, oh well you mightlike it.

First i want to say that i really tried to like this movie but it wastotally impossible because this movie is not likable. Alexis Bledel isjust so annoying herself she should get a proper job. The story wasdecent but the way it was written totally wrong! These days comedyaren't really good but this one is terrible and the acting of Alexismakes is totally painful the director tried to make an movie with bitof stupid part of common life but seriously if your a big fan of Alexisforget this movie now!! Still the little girls in front of me seems tohave real fun for this movie but for me its a big flat NO! & god knowshow much these poor people will waste their money on something thathorrible and disappointing

Now i'm not going to say this film was a classic or something you willwant to watch over and over. What I can say about this film is that itwas very surprising and offbeat despite the way the film was promoted.
Bandslam promoting take 2. Like the film Bandslam headlined by Disneystars, this film suffers from a lack of realistic advertising.Basically the film you think your going to see, you aren't. Bandslamwas not a Disney film so much as a quirky teen comedy about diversityand the unification of those otherwise lone wolves for a greater cause.
Post Grad is essentially a film about a girl, Alexis Bledel, whoseideas of life post grad come crashing down around her when she realizesit isn't as she assumed it would be. Finding a job is much tougher thenexpected, and it doesn't help that she is unqualified, but overconfident.
The film delves a little deeper with a lot of little subplots rangingfrom cute to over the top and strange, grandmother shopping for her owncoffin.
The film was pretty offbeat and not as mainstream slapstick as it comesoff in the trailers. It is a semi realistic film and Alexis does thebest I have seen her do since Season one of Gilmore Girls. While sheisn't Meryl Streep she plays the role of Ryden with great presence.
I thoroughly enjoyed the film and think that if it had better promotingand was targeted also at indie film fans, this film had the potentialto be a hit.
Jane Lynch is also really great in the film, serving her characterdutifully. Overall I was surprised and enjoyed the film, despite thenegative reviews it has received.
This isn't a plant review FYI, check my posting history if you will, Isaw the film, and enjoyed it. I would give it a chance. It's a funlight film, perfect to take your mind off the current state of economyand Swine Flu worries floating about.
A fun, fun film. Check it out!
