Leave your thoughts about The Suburbans.
| Mr. ShowbizMichael AtkinsonA fresh and beautifully timed, if slight, romantic comedy. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinIt's cute and jokey and has no particular edge. |
| Film.comErnest HardyWants to be many things, but ends up being not much of anything. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesPaige SmoronA mediocre ensemble comedy-drama that's not particularly funny, involving or even nostalgic. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardA desperately unfunny comedy that wastes a brand-name cast. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorThe movie's repeated attempts to combine seriousness and humor as in a blender give it a dysfunctionally earnest tone. |
| Los Angeles TimesGene SeymourGoes into a tailspin after its impressive setup. Its dramatic tactics become so tangled and diffuse that, by the end, you get the feeling that everything gets tied up too hastily. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyA mediocre ensemble comedy-drama that's not particularly funny, involving or even nostalgic. |
| Chicago TribuneGary DretzkaThe storyline isn't coherent, the music stinks, the characters are one-dimensional, the dialogue is insipid and it is neither funny nor romantic. |
| Entertainment WeeklyDoug BrodBy appearing in The Suburbans, a stunningly laugh-free comedy, (Jennifer Love Hewitt)'s already gotten her career-worst movie out of the way. |
