WHEN her impeccably pre-planned life plan begins to unravel, aspiring book editor Ryden Malby wonders if she'll ever live up to her own high expectations in POST GRAD (12A), a wry look at life after college.

With a shiny new English degree in hand, young overachiever Ryden (Alexis Bledel) thinks that success is inevitable.When she loses out on her dream job and her car breaks down, she is faced with the reality of finding a job in one of the longest recessions in recent history. And with no way to pay her rent, she is forced to move back home with her parents.

But dad Walter (Michael Keaton) is an impulsive schemer who keeps trying to distract her from her career path, while her mother Carmella (Jane Lynch) is all too happy to have her baby girl back in the nest. And her oxygen-toting, chain-smoking grandmother Maureen (Carol Burnett) is preoccupied with planning her own funeral.

This comedy is the first live-action film to be directed by Shrek director Vicky Jenson.
