Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Sweet Treat
The performances of Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Alec Baldwin were quite wonderful in this extremely funny, very charming movie. The older man-younger woman thing worked surprisingly well ( due in no small part to the excellent chemistry between it's two stars ), and the director ( Joan Sobel ) kept the story refreshingly free of cliches. I highly recommend it.
Rating:  - Much Ado About Nothing
Sarah plays a book editor who sets her sights on dating the CEO of a publishing company. And that's pretty much the whole story. The problem with this film is that it has no drama. Most of the first hour is just about the two people dating. The last half hour of the film was a little slow and meandering, before it attempts to put a happy ending on this rather dull and pointless story. I was disappointed and now I know why the film went straight to DVD.
Rating: - Starring Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I admit it. I watched Suburban Girl because of Sarah Michelle Gellar. What can I say? I love my Buffy. This movie is based on the short stories in The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank. This further increased my interest, as I've seen the book, but never picked it up. (The movie has nothing to do with actual hunting or fishing, FYI.) Gellar is Brett Eisenberg, an editor, trying to work her way up at a NY publishing company, who meets Archie Knox (Alec Baldwin), a much older veteran ... Read More
Rating: - a few reactions
I would like to add that YES, the novel is great. I hope those who are disappointed by the movie won't be dissuaded from checking out the novel, which is wonderfully well written, not fluffy "lit". In fact Melissa Bank's writing has been compared to John Cheever and she has been described as a descendant of the Hemingway, Raymond Carver school.
Also I was surprised and pleased that someone commented that it is a shame that the movie gives the impression that older / younger relationships ... Read More
Rating: - Bad Ending
Suburban Girl overall was ok. It is not a movie that I would personally watch again. Part of it could have been my timing. In the movie Sarah Michelle Gellar's Character's father passes away. I watched it the day before Father's Day and my father passed a few years ago. When I first rented this movie I was under the impression that it was a romantic comedy as well. There was kind of a melancholy feel throughout the whole movie. Another thing that displeased me was the way that a relationship between an ... Read More
