Editorial Review:
Based on stories from the bestselling book The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Grudge) stars in this funny and disarmingly wise romantic comedy set against the exhilarating backdrop of New York City. Gellar is Brett, a naive associate book editor embarking on her first big job. Brett is overwhelmed until she develops a romance with the seasoned literary star Archie Knox (30 Rock's Alec Baldwin) and is introduced to a glamorous new world. But when she faces a family crisis, Brett must make the decision of a lifetime as this girl from the `burbs finds herself at a big-city crossroads.

Suburban Girl [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Possible basis for 30 Rock and some SNL skits...
2009-02-28 - Got this as a joke because my wife's company name is Suburban, so she's my Suburban girl. The only difference is that we have a far more interesting life than the characters of movie which seems to drag on in parts with bad editing and quickly skips over key points of the plot making for a confusing movie for what is essentially a simple story. BUT, if you are a 30 Rock fan, you may like some of Alec's acting, for he appears to be the same character to me. If you are an SNL freak, there is one skit on a show he hosted that did not make any sense to me until I saw this movie. It is when during the most mundane tasks, the camera zoomed in on his face with extra lighting around his eyes, trying to make the scene more dramatic, like taking a sip of coffee or something. Well, this movie is chalk full of those scenes, but they're actually meant to be dramatic...
I am afraid I had no idea who Sarah Gellar was until reading the previous review that she is Buffy the Vampire Killer. Probably not worth renting if you're a Buffy fan, since there is 0 physical action which I believe is an important part of that series.

Buffy not kicking butt
2008-08-24 - 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 of the publishing world. Romance ensues and real life tragedies interrupt, making both take watch of their lives. The funniest part about this movie was my boyfriend walking in and wondering who matched up Baldwin as Gellar's father. Uh, they are supposed to be a couple, yeah, so not believable. If you really love either of them, watch it, other than that save your time and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead. We will all be much happier.
