A college graduate’s worst nightmare: losing your dream job, no income, no car, no special someone and moving back in with your parents.
This movie is for college students everywhere. Post Grad shows the struggle of trying to figure out life after college graduation.
Ryden Malby, played by Alexis Bledel, graduates from college and her plans are to find the right guy, find an amazing apartment and land her dream job at one of the city’s best publishing companies.
But when Ryden’s college nemesis steals her perfect job, she is forced to move back into her parents’ home. Ryden starts to feel like she’s going nowhere. No one will hire her and she can’t make money. If Ryden is going to survive as a post grad she might need to come up with a new plan.
This movie has some bad language and rough parts but in the end the movie shows the importance of family and friends and that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Some other exciting appearances in this movie are Zach Gilford, from Friday Night Lights; Michael Keaton, from Batman Returns, Cars, and Jack Frost; Jane Lynch, from Alvin and the Chipmunks, Julie & Julia, and Ice Age 3; and Carol Burnett, from Horton Hears a Who! and The Carol Burnett Show.
