Synopsis

Genre: Comedy

Ryden Malby (Bledel) had a plan. Do well in high school, thereby receiving a great college scholarship. Now that she’s finally graduated, it’s time for her to find a gorgeous loft apartment and land her dream job at the city’s best publishing house. But when Jessica Bard (Reitman), Ryden’s college nemesis steals her perfect job, Ryden is forced to move back to her childhood home. Stuck with her eccentric family – a stubborn do-it-yourself dad (Keaton), an overly thrifty mom (Lynch), a politically incorrect grandma (Burnett), a very odd little brother (Coleman) – and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden starts to feel like she’s going nowhere. The only upside is spending time with her best friend, Adam (Zach Gilford) – and running into her hot next-door neighbor, David (Santoro). But if Ryden’s going to survive life as a post grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan. - In Theaters August 21st, 2009.

Just Asking: Alexis Bledel

Published on: May 5, 2009

exas native Alexis Bledel made her television debut in 2000, with the CW's hit series, "Gilmore Girls." The 27-year-old actress spent seven years playing the scholarly daughter of a single mom on the show, which won a number of awards including an Emmy in 2004. Now Ms. Bledel has grown up and is starring in two big-screen films this year, including "The Good Guy," an independent film about young men on Wall Street and their dating habits, and the coming film "Post Grad," which tells the story of a girl who, after graduating from college, moves back into her childhood home and is forced to grapple with the untimely collision of unemployment and her oddball family. ("Post Grad" is being released by Twentieth Century Fox, which like Dow Jones & Co., the publisher of The Wall Street Journal, is owned by News Corp.) Ms. Bledel spoke with The Wall Street Journal just before "The Good Guy" premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
