Director Vicky Jenson has a sitcom script on her hands and proceeds accordingly.

| Jun 10, 2013

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

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

Post-Grad finds Alexis Bledel sinking into the quicksand of typecasting, playing nearly the same role she perfected during seven seasons as the ambitious Rory on Gilmore Girls.

| Aug 28, 2009

It is an inert, hugely boring misfire that almost put me to sleep, and by the time it was over I could only thank my lucky stars I'd only spent 90 minutes of my time trying to watch the darn thing.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 21, 2009

Alexis Bledel plays a Ms. Sunshine who's fresh out of college and unable to find work, and thus -- conveniently for the uninspired makers of this dismayingly conservative dramedy -- she's temporarily bunking back home

| Original Score: C | Aug 21, 2009

Bledel brings a sweet, steady presence, but this sort of minor project is a step backwards. It's high time she graduated on to bigger and better things.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2009

Excessive niceness may be an unfair charge to lob at a movie, but Post Grad is so swaddled in good intentions that it's like taking a very short journey cushioned on all sides by air bags. That are stuffed with cotton candy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 21, 2009

A joyless fluffball about after-college job woes with a dispiriting message for smart young women.

| Aug 21, 2009

I would like to take this occasion to lodge a complaint. There is no valid reason, none in the observable universe, why mainstream romantic comedies must adhere to the same script.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 21, 2009

Note to the writer Kelly Fremon: Is Ryden postgraduation or postmortem?

Full Review | Aug 21, 2009

Sweet but instantly forgettable; a fantasy version of post-college life carefully structured to offend no one -- and intrigue no one.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 21, 2009

What it eventually becomes is not so much a treatise on the inequities of the workplace as another romantic comedy, light on the comedy and not much heavier on the romance.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 21, 2009

Post Grad may be the strangest film of 2009. Unfortunately, not strange in a good way, strange in a bad way.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 21, 2009

Post Grad deserves a failing grade.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 21, 2009

Post Grad delivers a murky message about love, work, family and Eskimo Pies.

Full Review | Aug 21, 2009

A movie that never quite succeeds in capturing a generation adrift.

| Aug 21, 2009

The Proposal and The Ugly Truth only wish they had some of the charm of unpretentious diversions such as Bandslam or Post Grad.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 21, 2009
