Four high school best-friends head to Ocean City, Maryland for one last hurrah before heading off to colleges, jobs, and the real world, knowing their relationships and lives will never be the same. Loves are won and lost, friendships fall apart, and the future begins… with a hangover.

The Graduates debuted at #1 on Hulu in 2008 and remained in the top five comedies all time on the platform for over five years. Netflix picked up the DVD rights and distributed the film on DVD for three years. Today the film is available for sale/rental on iTunes and Amazon.
