Watch Suburban Girl For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

Better than most people think

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

First of all I wouldn't bother spelling the title because for 1 thing I don't actually know how to spell it; "Surburben Girl?" and for another I haven't got the faintest idea of what is actually means!? So anyway I got the chance to watch this film last night and after seeing the trailer I basically presumed that it was going to be another one of those rom-coms. On the mix of plus/down sides it wasn't, it wasn't even funny either, to be honest this film has no genre at all which is quite weird. On the down side I'm seeing absolutely nothing come out of tin. Nothing. The performances, the energy, the figure of this movie, nothing. And not to mention there was no doubt that is film is abysmally boring and dull. Even the plot was quite confusing let me say the pace at the start of this movie is very fast. After 2-5 minutes onwards the film the girl already met the guy and became close friends and after 10 minutes or so they kissed and slept with each other?! Talk about fast! And throughout the movie I was bored, yawning and just wanted stop watching this bore! But I figured I take a chance on this film but that still didn't work. So yeah that isn't a good sign. But overall this film has it moments but that does not change everything like I said there was NO DOUBT that this film is boring dull confusing and delivers no energy. A disappointment.****/********** (4/10 stars) ~Kalendra

I like Alec Baldwin. I am a woman of a 'certain age' so for me he is extremely attractive and I would happily sit and watch him for an hour or so no matter what he was doing. Just as well in this film.Poor SMG was unbelievable. Who chose her wardrobe? They must have really really hated her. One fun game to play is to observe how each outfit gets more and more frumpy and unflattering as the movie continues. Completely unflattering colours, wrong shapes for her body, necklines that made her look fat. How did they do that? She is frighteningly thin and they still made her look plump and dowdy with fussy necklines and clothes which had waistlines giving her the appearance of a dumpy old middle aged lady. I watched this on a girl's night in with a friend and we were convulsed with laughter as the horrific 'unfashion' parade unfolded.The character was so insensitive and bratty - I can't understand why the suave older man would have been attracted to her other than for a one night stand. She whinged and tantrummed constantly. I thought it was going to turn into a psychological drama and we would find out he had been molesting his daughter and had 'issues' in a Lolita type way.That might have given the film more depth. There was certainly that kind of vibe about the piece.

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.

Was this movie a cinematic revolution? No. But how many really are, anyway? Was this movie cute and fun? Absolutely. Was it any worse than any other romantic comedy out there? No. Maybe it was a little bit formulaic, but the formula it followed has resulted in success for a number of other films, so what's so offensive? It wasn't racist, it wasn't intolerant, it wasn't discriminatory or anything else that should cause people to condemn it. It was fluff, with some moments that were very genuine (ie, the scene on the swings between Brett and her brother). The acting, while maybe not Oscar-worthy, was sincere and likable, especially Sarah Michelle Gellar. I liked this movie, judge me all you want. It was cute, it was fun and it wasn't as cliché as most romantic comedies (ie, they don't end up together). The characters are slightly more self- reflexive than you see in most romantic comedies, and the self-reflexivity of a character leads the viewers to be self-reflexive. Maybe we all need to grow up, and seeing Brett navigate the waters of young adulthood in pair of leather pants and some fabulous Louboutins was enough to make this film worthwhile. So again, will it be one day considered a milestone in cinema? No. Did it make me smile? Yes. Isn't that what film is about?
