Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

manusanchez90 This is not the most common type of romantic comedies because its dramatic load is quite heavy, but surely I laughed with the movie. The story seemed interesting to me because it was centered in the editorial business, so I, as an aspirant to novelist and writer, was interested in it and decided to watch "Suburban girl". Alec Baldwin is very correct. This is not the best movie he has acted in nor his best performance, but he is always believable and nice to watch. Sarah Michelle Gellar, a very pretty actress with less experience and category, delivers a more than correct performance in this movie. She played the part of young girl who wants to be an editor and falls in love with a veteran editor portrayed by Baldwin. This love relationship has some problems because she had a young boyfriend who she leaves for the older editor and many do not like the fact that he is that old. There are some good jokes about this in the movie. The movie is correctly directed and paced by Marc Klein, specially taken into account he has directed no more movies because he has worked principally as a screenwriter. The pace and duration are both very adequate for the movie itself, which is rather short. There is nothing else to highlight about "Suburban girl", but a few songs and New York as the place where it is set. It is just a simple movie that those who like dramatic commercial comedies will enjoy watching, specially the followers and any of the two head actors. The idea of being set in the editorial business is a strong point to me personally. 7.

rsternesq Just for starters, this is a very, very boring movie. Not even the clothes or the icky implied sex plus dirty words said with a smile reduces the overwhelming ennui. Her dad is played by a 70 year old man saying he is 57. She says she has been legal for three years. Does that mean 21 or 24? When you look thirty, who cares? If Mr. Doughboy is the love interest who is suave and a skateboarding infant is the love interest who went to Europe to "find himself," my advice is recast, recast, recast. By the way, the complaints about the blonds all looking the same is correct. they were too similar and I think it was intended as a joke but it was flat. Too flat to help lift the proceedings. Boring. Boring. Boring. Is that 10 line minimum satisfied yet?

Argemaluco Writer Melissa Bank has been compared to Helen Fielding (the author of Bridget Jones' Diary) because of her skillful and funny portrayal of the challenges and problems modern women face.Her short story collection The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing received very good reviews and it was immediately acquired for being taken to the big screen.Unfortunately,at the difference of Fielding,Bank did not have any luck for finding a screenwriter who would effectively translate her "voice" to a movie.Suburban Girl is a truly tedious romantic comedy.This movie is an absolutely insipid combination of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones' Diary which has absolutely uninteresting characters.Besides,Mark Klein's direction is horrible because the movie completely lacks of any style,rhythm or natural flow of scenes.Sarah Michelle Gellar does not help at all with her artificial performance.I have been a big fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer,and I think that there was a perfect combination of character and actress in there.But,on all the movies she has done after Buffy,she seems to be lost,like we can see on this movie.Besides,she does not have a good chemistry with Alec Baldwin.In summary,her weak performance damages the movie pretty much.I honestly suggest you not to invest your time on this tedious and completely uninteresting romantic comedy.Instead,read the book or do something which makes a better investment of your time and money.

pandit Take your average brainless romantic comedy, that is fluffy but entertaining enough, that gives a few laughs. Formula food for movie goers. Remove the comedy, and then remove any believable romance. What do you have remaining? Not even drama. It is nice to see Sarah Michelle Gellar in something, and she is a fine enough actress. Alec Baldwin, stock rising after 30 Rock, was not the right choice for this 'story', and between them they cannot save a weak script or inject anything of interest. They are not convincing of love, nor even interact in any interesting way. Nor are there any compensatory laughs. The plot is a straight forward slice-of-life of a girl who meets an older man, and shacks up with him. What happens in the end? Nothing to care about.
