The movie opens with Ryden Malby (Alexis Bledel) preparing for her college graduation. Ryden has had her life planned out since she was eleven. She wanted to get good grades, earn a college scholarship and get a great job at the publishing house Happerman and Browning. So far, everything is on track including the interview she has scheduled for her dream job. At the graduation ceremony, Ryden's family arrived late, causing a little bit of a scene. In addition to her parents (Jane Lynch and Michael Keaton) and little brother, her grandmother (Carol Burnett) is there with her oxygen tank. Ryden's rival, Jessica Bard, gives the graduation speech and then Ryden and her family go out to eat to celebrate. Ryden's best friend, Adam (Zach Gilford) joins them. Adam has had feelings for Ryden since they met freshman year. He has also applied to law school at Columbia, but has not decided if he wants to go if accepted. Meanwhile, Ryden reveals to her family that she has an interview scheduled the next week and that she's even found a loft apartment that she plans to rent. Adam goes with Ryden to look at the apartment before her interview. She is so confident of her prospects that she leaves an application and hefty deposit check. On the way to the interview, a truck hits Ryden's car and drives away without giving her his insurance information. Ryden is forced to hustle to Happerman and Browning. When she arrives for the interview, she is directed to a waiting area filled with other applicants. Finally, it is Ryden's turn to interview. When asked why she wants the job, she gives an eloquent speech about how she's been preparing for it her whole life and she can't imagine herself doing anything else. The interviewer responds with a blank stare and thanks her for coming. As Ryden is leaving, Jessica Bard arrives and the interview greets her warmly. Unemployed, Ryden gives up her dream of living in the loft apartment and moves in with her parents. Ryden's father insists that he can fix her car himself, despite her protests. As they unload the truck, her father steps in poop left by the neighbor's cat. He confronts the neighbor, David Santiago (Rodrigo Santoro). Adam watches as Ryden meets, and is clearly attracted to, David.
