Comedy written and directed by Noah Baumbach. Grover has just graduated college but has little direction and is struggling to determine what he wants to do with the rest of his life. His girlfriend Jane on the other hand has big plans and has just accepted a fellowship in Prague.

He decides to move in with a group of his friends who are equally lost and lacking direction. There?s Skippy who is determined to hold onto his college days by attending classes even though he?s graduated; philosophy graduate Max who is struggling to find a job; and Otis, a mechanical engineer who is also unemployed. The friends begin to reassess their lives and lack of motivation when they meet Chet, a server at the local bar who is in his tenth year of college
