Post Grad - And now what...?




What happens after graduation? Is it really easier to move on if you already have your life planned according to a schedule? Alexis Bledel plays the role of Ryden, the super girl and wonder child that has her life all figured after she graduates college: a dream job at a famous publishing agency, a super apartment with a dreamy view to look at every morning and looking for the guy of her dreams.

But what do you do when something goes wrong in your master plan? Since the job was given out to her college rival, Jessica, Ryden is forced to move back to her parents’ house and look for a job, any job, an ordinary job, something that gives out a paycheck at the end of the month. Just like any girl that has to take the steps of becoming a woman, Ryden walks around with an open heart, ready to embrace that one true love, whoever it may be. Zach Gilford is here to play the role of Adam Davies, “the best friend” who is madly in love with the girl and just doesn’t have the guts to say it out loud and when he finally does… well, that’s for me to know and for you to see after you watch this superb romantic comedy about teenagers, love, dreams and aspirations.

Featuring great actors, like Michael Keaton and the dream boys of Hollywood, like Rodrigo Santoro, this movie is captivating especially for those that have found themselves in that situation, where you have no idea what you next steps should be. “Post Grad” is a movie about true friendship and it touches the delicate subject of “What if the love of my life is right before my eyes and I don’t know it yet?” It’s a movie about how to turn the wrong into right and expressing true feelings and hidden desires. Now that is easy to say… but what do you do in real life when you are afraid to risk a wonderful friendship for something that could turn into a lovely romance?
