The trailer for Post Grad, the new movie starring Alexis Bledel as a whiney wah-wah-wah-the-world-owes-me-my-dream-job recent graduate who’s forced to move back in with her parents while she ignores her Ducky and flirts with an older foreign neighbor from central casting, came out this week. And there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo by a comedian soon to be seen in starring movie roles that seems almost like it was added to the trailer as a joke.


2:15, so random it’s funny:

The movie also stars the brilliant Jane Lynch as the mom, and marks the return of Michael Keaton to doing anything at all. Question: when did Duckys become average looking jock/fratboy types whose only claim to quirkiness is the fact that they play acoustic guitar? I knew Ducky. Ducky was a fake friend of mine. And the guy in this trailer, sir, is no Ducky.

  1. I wonder if Important Things will be back for a second season?
    I hope so.

    Reality Blows

  3. OMG, i would have missed if you hadn’t told me not to miss it because of how i’m not going to miss this movie for anything (i’m going to miss this movie for many things).

  4. This trailer caused an almost complete lack of emotion in me. It’s so formulaic and bland and blah it’s like it might as well not even exist. Always a good sign for a movie.

  5. Oh step off, Lindsay. Ducky is my fictional hasn’t-come-to-terms-with-his-homosexuality boyfriend.

    That’s no “average looking/jock fratboy type,” that’s Matt Saracen. QB1?

    So I’m supposed to feel for this girl who is too stupid to look up what’s going on at the company for which she is interviewing? And then she asks a VP if she’s pregnant, which is even dumber?

    No thank you.

  8. So this is why Saracen possibly gave up returning for a fourth season?

    Hit the showers boy, bad move is bad.

  9. Where the fark has Michael Keaton been????

  10. they stole the font from gossip girl… with the dripping P……. anyone?

  11. Alexis Bledel makes me pancakes in my dreams. With butter, and maple syrup, and sex.

  12. As someone who is currently unemployed and living with my parents after finishing an advance degree, all I have to say about this trailer is:
    EFF YOU.

  13. But also! Paolo? Paolo of Nikki and Paolo fame?! There you are!

    Was no one going to mention that Carol FUCKING Burnett is in that movie. Jesus, no sense of history with you people.

  15. marah  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +1

    no way. i stand behind this movie. 2 stars from 2 of the greatest shows? friday night lights and gilmore girls??? plus jane lynch? what can go wrong?

  16. There’s no such thing as quirky anymore, Lindsay. Only in NYC, but NYC is like an alternate universe.

    I wonder if she gets a really good job at the end or if she gets a really good job at the end.

    All these movies about graduating from college recently (ie Adventureland). And why does everyone in them go to Columbia for grad school?

    Black people have “Barbershop” and white people have this.

    Why must Matt Saracen always drive a beat up truck? Get this man a Civic or something!

  21. so alexis bledel plays rory gilmore (smart girl with great plans of education and carrier, everything falls apart, then everything resolves itself and life is great again) and zach gilford plays matt saracen (adorable, unappreciated boyfriend who is dumped for older, more interesting guy but then probably gets the girl back in the end when she realizes how great he is)?

  22. She has about as much range as Michael Cera.

    • now that would be a movie. alexis bledel and michael cera doing there same old same old. i would still totally watch it.

    I’m surprised they didn’t give the lead to Demetri.

    Burying him in the trailer? COME ON!

    • I know. He got maybe 1.5 seconds screentime in the trailer too.
      It’s a travesty.

      …but still also the reason that I am sure that I will be seeing this movie.

    I got so nervous by 2:15, I really didn’t want it to be Aziz! So, good thing it wasn’t.

  25. Boz  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +5

    I thought Paolo was buried in the sand. When everyone else leaped through time it must have taken him to the house next to Mike Keaton and he couldn’t see so he needed glasses and was hot so he got a pool and then Nikki came over and… my nose is bleeding. This Movie is death.

    DOES NOT WANT!

  27. Micheal Keaton would always bother me on SNL by how blatantly he was was reading the cue cards.

    OMG! This is horrible! I’m surpirsed you slackers didn’t mention “The Graduate” which is what this movie is trying to be. Not all of us are eager students after we graduate, we just like to lay on the pool, do nothing and sleep with an older mature neighbor while listening to simon and garfunkle. ;)

  29. Can you say BAD TIMING? Yeah, I can’t get my dream job in publishing either. I also can’t get a job in retail. Welcome to NO ONE CAN. So no one feels bad for you, fast talking Gilmore Girl.

    I only saw the second travelling pants movie, but I’m pretty sure the fat chick was the star.

  31. How can she chose between Xerxes (the older foreign neighbor from central casting IN CASE YOU COULDN’T TELL WITHOUT THE GOLD PAINT AND LOIN CLOTH) and Matt from Friday Night Lights???
    she can’t. that’s how.

    and Post Grad should just be called “Becca: Welcome to my World”…. unemployment is soooooo hilarious.

    Alexis is the star from “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” !??! I KNEW SHE LOOKED FAMILIAR… she’s changed like so much since The Gilmore Girls too so i totally barely even like recognized her ! OMGz

  33. I don’t care that he’s no longer QB1, Matt made the wrong decision here.
