Film Review: 'Post Grad' life is not always so predictable

Even though this results in her further ignoring Adam by missing his show and a dinner, she receives some good advice from David as he talks to her about life and the people in it. He explains to her that life isn't about what you do, but who you're with when you're doing it.
It seems to take this bit of advice for Malby to realize her romantic feelings toward her best friend Adam.
This, however, is when the realistic side of the film starts to go downhill.
The rest of the movie is then spent ignoring her job prospects, which start to look up considerably, and pursuing the love of her life.
This would not have been such a bad thing if she hadn't thrown away everything she had worked for throughout the rest of the movie (and her life) without any real ending to what happens with her career.
As a whole, the idea for the movie is interesting. The message is a good one, and focusing on what makes us happy is definitely more important than simply making money or being successful by someone else's standards.
It had its humorous parts and the Malby family definitely was created to be an entertaining one. Also, it successfully interprets the humor of home life.
The movie portrays moments of realistic life issues. The ending is somewhat predictable by movie standards but not as realistic as it probably should have been.
As a whole, if you're curious and in the mood for a romantic comedy, it's worth seeing.
