Graduation
Four best friends, about to graduate from high school, must find a way to raise money to help a family member in need. When one of them discovers her banker father having an affair, the foursome plots to rob his bank during graduation ceremonies. When things don't go according to plan, they end up learning more about themselves in one day than they ever did in school.
Critics Sentiment
An unforeseen hostage situation complicates the robbery
Carl falls in love with bank teller Suzi
The film jumps from its lowest point during Carl's romantic distraction to high suspense as the graduation ceremony heist begins.
Graduation receives mixed but generally positive reception, with critics praising the unique premise and suspenseful execution while criticizing some character motivations and overacting. The film peaks during its central heist sequence but struggles with believability in its setup. Most reviewers appreciated the ensemble cast and found it an entertaining, if imperfect, crime drama.
