"Now What?"

Ryden Malby 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, 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, an overly thrifty mom, a politically incorrect grandma, a very odd little brother - 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 - and running into her hot next-door neighbor, David. But if Ryden's going to survive life as a post grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan...

I liked it, I liked it, I liked it.

I always do a bit of a summary in my own words, but I believe the summary up there says it all. If I were to say more I would spoil it.

Alexis Bledel. Ive love this girl since Gilmore Girls. She is super pretty, sometimes too pretty. Which made her perfect for this part. She is a good actress though at times I could detect a Rory Gilmore flare to her part. Maybe the two parts were too closely related. She is suppose to play the part of a super achiever girl who sticks by the plan. Sound familiar? Yeah, well I still liked her. Her acting made it seem real, and through the movie I felt as if she were telling me my future (I hope so, without the unemployment of course, but life ain't perfect) xD

Another thing I loved about the movie was the job territory it was talking about. Many times Ive wanted to know things from the inside of the book industry, and I feel that I'm in a total blank about what the job really requires. This movie shows you it's hard, it's competitive, and that if you really want it you have to fight tooth and nail for it. Something we might all know but forget at times. The movie doesn't go much into the whole book part of the story but into the girl's life and feelings of desperation. It tells you a main idea but doesn't give you the inside scoop.

The end of the movie left me a little undecided. One one hand I understand the girl and the reasons she does whatever she did in the end, but on the other I don't find it completely believable and real. Then again I could just be a total cynic.

Fun, light, and I felt connected to the movie, this is a strong 4.4 in my book.
