Romantic comedy without romance or comedy

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... Full review

Honestly, I am a firm hater of chick-flicks. However, Sarah Michelle Gellar is my favourite actress and I will see anything she is in. So, upon seeing that she was in a movie that looked very much like a typical... Full review

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... Full review

Unlike the Europeans, Hollywood has never been comfortable with May-December romances. One film after another they throw the 50-something Daniel Auteuil into the arms of a 20-something babe without explanation or apology and we sit in the cinema never questioning... Full review

Despite most user comments, I did enjoy this movie. Sarah did an amazing job... And I readily believed her portrayal of a young woman in love/security. It was actually refreshing to see Sarah in a role completely different from any... Full review

That's not the movie's fault, of course, and you can only wish every father tried as hard to be a good parent as Klein tries to make a smart yet entertaining movie.
Writer/director Marc Klein forces the literary allusions, but there's plenty of apt wit, and the acting is top-notch.

Consider this a mixed review - a film to take a chance on if you're looking for a romantic comedy that doesn't fit neatly into the genre.
What's fascinating about this tale is the movie doesn't try to avoid such awkwardness - and milks laughs and some drama out the conflict that ensues.

Exclaim! Canada
Not even the brief shot of Gellar's underwear clad ass makes Suburban Girl worth the pain of sitting through.
His chemistry with Gellar is strong enough that it would've been a far more interesting basis for the film.
