Review of Post Grad (2009) by Jim W — 16 Jan 2010
I don't know why very few people liked this movie. It has charm and Alexis Bledel lights up the screen as a 22 year old college graduate who finds herself unemployed and living with her parents, when she expected many opportunities after college. I also liked Friday Night Lights' Zach Gilford as Bledel's long time friend who has always loved her more than just a friend.
There wasn't much in the movie that seemed original though. You have the grandma (Carol Burnett) that has the family watch her try out coffins. The supporting upbeat father (Michael Keaton) that gets Bledel embarrassing jobs. While, how many times has a movie been made where the best friend has a big crush on the main character ? I found the movie entirely predictable and cliche....,yet there was never a doubt in my mind that I liked the movie. It was always likable and harmless, which is why I'm surprised that so many people hated the film.
