- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's a screwball comedy. It's also, I have to say, a feel-good movie that made me smile a lot.
- 50St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonSt. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonAfter watching Post Grad, you may wonder whether Hollywood will ever stop making generic comedies with zero tolerance for originality.
- 40Village VoiceVillage VoiceIn 2009. Vicky Jenson's live-action debut is as cartoonish as her work on "Shrek," and that's OK for the comic bits. The rest seems like a remarkably cynical cross-breed—for all demographics, but, ultimately, for none.

- 40VarietyVarietyAs fiction characters go, Ryden seems as dull as they come, making it hard to muster much sympathy for her plight.
- 38Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaOstensibly a comedy, and a feeble and innocuous one at that, Post Grad is one of those what-were-they-thinking?
- 33The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsWhen a film whose cast includes Michael Keaton, Jane Lynch, Fred Armisen, Craig Robinson, Demetri Martin, and the now rarely seen Carol Burnett can’t scare up more than a smattering of laughs, the patient was never meant to live in the first place.
- 25Miami HeraldConnie OgleMiami HeraldConnie OgleAn annoying, tedious little film.
- 20Time OutS. James SnyderTime OutS. James SnyderTiming’s everything in comedy, so perhaps Post Grad would have seemed peppier prior to the Great Recession; circa now, this comedy feels like a cynical stroll through the unemployment lines awaiting today’s class of seniors.
