With a key to the bank and a foolproof plan, how difficult could it be to simply waltz right in, collect a quick $200,000, and disappear before anyone even realized what happened? Unfortunately for these criminally-inclined teens, the local police are quicker to respond than they ever anticipated. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Graduation, a borderline dramedy with somewhat interesting relationship crosscurrents among four friends facing life after high school, squanders audience goodwill with its tediously judgmental treatment of anyone who isn't flush with youthful promise.
-
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
Graduation isn't some daring amalgam of traditional movie categories; it's simply all over the place.
-
Austin Kennedy, Sin Magazine
The movie is pretty dull and generic. None of the kids feel like real people, just cardboard cut-outs of stock characters.
-
Brian Chen, Filmcritic.com
so unrealistic and poorly thought-out it's insulting to the entire heist genre.
-
Travis Nichols, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Unlike 2005's pitch-perfect teen heist movie Brick, Graduation misses nearly every note it tries to hit.
