Plot

Post Grad movie scenes

Ryden Malby graduates from college in the middle of the late-2000s recession and is forced to move back in with her parents, because her dream job has been given to her arrogant college nemesis Jessica Bard. Ryden and her best friend Adam, who has had a longtime crush on her, must find a job for Ryden before she loses hope for her future dream as an editor of a big publishing company, but her ambitions for getting a job blinded her from noticing that Adam was giving up going to New York in hopes that one day she will feel about him the same way he does for her. After a while, Adam gives up and goes to Columbia and Ryden gets her dream job, but realizes she isn't really happy and quits her job to go and live with Adam.

    Reception

    Post Grad was panned by film critics and filmgoers alike. The film stands with a 8% "rotten" rating by 99 critics at Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states: "A lightweight, unambitious comedy, Post Grad features fine actors that can do little with its middling, uninspiring script." It scores 35 at Metacritic, based on 25 reviews, which also represents "generally unfavorable reviews".

    Roger Ebert, however, awarded it three out of four stars, stating, "If you're cynical or jaded, it might not get past you. But here is the first movie in a long time that had me actually admitting I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel."

    Box office

    During opening weekend, the film opened at #11, grossing $2,651,996.
