POST GRAD (PG-13 for brief profanity & mild, titillating sex)
Oh, lordy! Not just the worst film of the week, but of the entire year! A sloppily constructed, crazily made flick about a college grad (Alexis Bledel) in search of a job in the Big City, going through just about as many misadventures as the kids in "Shorts," but with far less imagination, more self-centered behavior and surrounded by people, including an equally self-centered buddy (Zach Gilford) and mother (poor Carol Burnett) who are all far less interesting than Toe en totum. After an hour and a half of miserable material (Kelly Fremon, writer) the rejection slips handed out to the hapless grad should include one for everybody involved with this mess.
