TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

studioAT Alexis Bledel shone in the seven years of Gilmore Girls (well, six, I don't think anyone came out of the seventh season strongly) so it was no surprise that people thought she was strong enough a talent to carry this movie.And to be fair, she is by far the best thing about this film. She's funny, she makes her character's story about life post uni, as well as dealing with a friend that wants to be more, relatable and true.Unfortunately when the focus moves away from this and onto to her family life the film falls apart. Every 'quirky' character trait the writers give the family is unfunny, and normally very reliable actors begin to chew scenery. Michael Keaton in particular is embarrassing in this film.Overall this is a film that's only good in places for this reason. It's a shame because Bledel works well with the limited material and needs more opportunities to show this obvious talent on the big screen.

edwagreen The film has a reasonable premise with a girl graduating from college and looking to enter the job market in the writing field. It soon gets bogged down into other stories, some of which are inane.Michael Keaton plays the free spirited father who gets into trouble for selling items, not knowing that the latter were stolen. We never find out what happened there.Carol Burnett's part is essentially wasted as Keaton's mother, who hides her money all over the place. She tries to display her usual humor, but the writing here holds back her potential to create more in her role.The story comes down to commitment and following your ambitions.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This movie is fantastic, if you are a teenage girl... Which, I am not. So I found the movie to be rather dull and uninspiring. Sure there were aspects of the story that was good, but in overall, the movie just wasn't meant for me.Though labeled as a comedy, there is only a handful of funny moments throughout the entire movie. It is more of a romantic movie than it is a comedy. And throw in some aspects dealing with life, finding a job, mortality, family matters, and you have "Post Grad".The cast in "Post Grad" actually did a good job. Alexis Bledel (playing Ryden Malby) was very well cast for this particular role. However, the one carrying the movie and the one with the most comedy in the entire movie was Michael Keaton (playing Walter Malby). Jane Lynch (playing Carmella Malby) was also doing a good job with her role. Right up there with Michael Keaton was Carol Burnett (playing grandma Maureen), she was just hilarious and had a very unique character to portray.This movie should appeal to young girls fresh out of college, as the movie deals with that matter, having to find a job, and dealing with the love of your life. And in that manner, I think the movie did a good job (despite it not being up my alley).I sat down to watch the movie with the assumption that it was going to be an average teenage comedy, but it was far from it. The movie is not bad, not at all, it just wasn't intended for the likes of me.

justinefeitsma When the movie ends, you can summarize it in only one sentence. During the whole movie, we (two 18 year old girls) kept predicting what would happen next and every time we were right. It feels like they almost got it right every scene, but somehow only certain scenes lift up the quality of the movie. Most of the time those are the scenes with only Alexis Bledel and Zach Gilford. The parents of Alexis' character were very annoying -except for Jane Lynch- and we couldn't figure out what was the function of the son and the grandmother. If they were there to be funny, it didn't work. None of the funny stuff worked actually, except for a certain incident with an animal -people who've seen it will know-. There were two things that kept our attention, mind you we're teenage girls, was Alexis' gorgeous hair and her clothes. Choice of wardrobe was fabulous. in the end, this movie has many potential, they wanted it to be great, funny and dramatic but it just didn't work out that way. The storyline is too thin and the ending is very sudden, which is also very annoying. We've been watching the main character struggle the entire movie and then it suddenly all ends. Only watch it when there's nothing better on.
