Post Grad Reviews
Consider me among the crowd that didn't hate the film as I thought it was well made at the time.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 22, 2024
…settles for cheesy observation of lives that seem somewhat lacking in real drama…
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 17, 2023
Too safe to be memorable yet too entertaining to be completely forgotten.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 20, 2020
Ho-hum stuff.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 25, 2014
Like festive icing on a plain vanilla cake, a fun cast and offbeat humor hugely increase the palatability of Post Grad.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 10, 2013
With a formulaic plot and uninspiring dialogue, not even Mr. Mom can help the film stay afloat.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 10, 2013
Director Vicky Jenson has a sitcom script on her hands and proceeds accordingly.
| Jun 10, 2013
It acts like the audience knows nothing about how humans behave or find jobs or keep them or have romantic relationships or exist in families.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011
Director Vicky Jenson has infused Post Grad with all the subtlety and substance of a garden-variety sitcom...
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 12, 2011
There's certainly a lot of material there but none of the comedy works in any way at all and Keaton is a dead zone at the centre of the film.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 5, 2010
Vicky Jenson's attempt at a go-getting romcom is a tragic underachiever on the com front: the rent-a-quirk characters feel like a Little Miss Sunshine tribute act gone wrong.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 5, 2010
he try-hard quirkiness and clunky screenwriting starts to grate after just a few minutes. By the final act, it's not unlike having bamboo splinters inserted under your fingernails.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 5, 2010
A clumsily scripted, misfiring affair.
| Jan 5, 2010
The level of humour is summed up by the scene where a dead cat is buried in a pizza box.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2010
This lame family-centric comedy desperately wants to be Little Miss Sunshine but ends up - by virtue of the bizarre cast of unfunny characters - like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2010
One bland, listless slog.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2010
The film is never flat-out terrible - just thoroughly bland.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2010
While there's little to hate, there's almost nothing to like in a film this anodyne. The jokes aren't funny, the performances are middling and the storyline predictable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2010
Post Grad is trying to reproduce the wackily dysfunctional manners of family life that made Little Miss Sunshine a hit, but hasn't the charm, the jokes or, significantly, the nerve.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 5, 2010
It's not a bad topic for a comedy, especially in the current economic climate, but the film-makers don't have the faintest idea what to do with it.
