"Ryden Malby (Alexis Bledel) always assumed it would be easy to find a job with a college diploma. But when nothing materializes after graduation, she's forced to move back in with her dysfunctional family and work full-time at maintaining her sanity. The only bright spot is her steady relationship with her best friend, Adam (Zach Gilford), but even that's starting to feel a little awkward."

A pretty standard movie with a pretty standard storyline. Naive girl with big plans, forced to adapt when things don't go her way, with a 90-minute-mark revelation of true love. 

I like Alexis Bledel, but she plays the same character all the time (variations on Rory Gilmore). Michael Keaton and Carol Burnett as the father and grandmother were entertaining, though written as caricatures. Jane Lynch is seriously miscast the mother - does she strike you as maternal at all?! There's also an extraneous little brother, a sexy next-door neighbor, and a surprisingly funny scene about burying a cat in a pizza box. But that's about it. Inoffensive and unmemorable.
