Post Grad

Comedy
2.5 stars
Should have gone straight to video. Alexis Bledel stars as a recent college grad whose life plans are dashed when she doesn’t get the dream job she expected straight out of school and also doesn’t recognize that her platonic male best friend is her soul mate (Zach Gilford of TV’s Friday Night Lights). The movie was disappointing despite an impressive supporting cast including Carol Burnett, Michael Keaton, J.K. Simmons, Jane Lynch (Child’s sister in Julie and Julia, also Charlie’s shrink in Two and a Half Men) and even the little brother (Bobby Coleman) starred in Martian Child (with John Cusack). The jokes fell flat and the outcome was obvious to all except Bledel’s naïve character. Maybe catch it when it comes out on TV, but only if you’re in the mood.
