I get the feeling that the screenplay was written before the recession since typically these projects take a few years to finish. In lieu of that, I think they should have made some tweaks to it like how its really hard as a post graduate to find a job in the field we want because of the recession and the lack of jobs. Enough of my complaining... well not quite. The movie was cheesy thanks to Michael Keaton who has yet to play a Dad that is not quirky. What happened to Keaton? He used to be Batman and Batman is sexy as hell. It makes sense that Bledel's character can't get a job that she wants, but all her friends... give me a break. As if every post graduate is trying to get a full-time job a few days after graduation and spending their whole life in school... yeah right. Only people who are either boring or going to have a quarter-life crisis in a few years. I liked it, it just needed some changes and it would have been better. Bledel's character is like any other self-obsessed person who doesn't want what she has and still seems to get what she wants anyways... I know that happens to some people, but they should really show the reality of things and that life just doesn't work like that. Its overly optimistic which is why it is cheesy. On a good note, Jane Lynch is awesome and she also happened to be in Julie and Julia.
