Lurking in Suburbia

I hated this movie, from the first minute to the last - truth be told the last minute I watched was at about the 60 minute mark, during the party. I didn't expect much from this movie, but man, did I get less! The characters are so obvious and clichéd, same as the story. A movie about a party animal and his immature friends is nothing new, and the ones where one of them suddenly realises his crazy lifestyle must come to an end are just as old. That scene at the beginning where they are sitting in the back of the truck drinking from a keg was sssooooo lame I wanted to smash my TV. And the sex-crazed friend character was worthy of a bullet. The way this movie has the main character spouting used bullshit at the camera about the pressures and responsibilities of the real world ( some of the statements are almost true ) while at the same time showing the friends o-so-casually carrying out crazy pranks without batting their eyelids makes me want to puke. Try some originality next time

This film is honest, funny and the lead is fantastic! I connected with this film all the way. You get tired of comedies that have no reason or heart. This one has a big one!

The characters are original and the dialogue is witty. It has that "Clerks" feel but way more west coast. I can see a lot of these actors making it big. For a small Indie they give big performances!

I think you should go out and see it with your buds and some beers! Everyone will relate to the movie and you'll be laughing non-stop! I grew up with all the same guys so I know how it feels… I guess the people who don't get just didn't have the buddies we did!

Yes, it is low budget. Yes, it is simple. But, it is a great story about a guy turning 30 who is at a crossroads in his life and makes a decision at the end you may see coming, but you know is the right one.

Don't rent this looking at the DVD cover and thinking it is some frat-boy comedy. It isn't. It makes you think and actually makes you think a little about your life and where you are at right now.

Every character in this movie can be related to an experience in my life and being a 31 year old man, I can relate a little to the main character. 30 was the point in my life when I decided to "grow up" so to speak.

I don't think anyone younger than 25 will appreciate this movie for what it is, that is just my opinion.

It is well-acted, well written and deserving of a rental.

Don't waste your time. All the 'reviews' that gave this turkey 9 or 10 stars were written by 'members' who had coincidentally ALL been members for thirteen years! And all of them had in their thirteen year memberships only ever reviewed one film. Yep. Utter fakes made up for and/or by the makers of the film...

If people are so insecure about their product that they need to resort to fake profiles and fake reviews then I just assume that their creation isn't worth bothering with.

I don't get how people still think it's a smart idea to do this. Anybody with an ounce of intelligence can see through this blatant hucksterism. It can only put us potential viewers of in the long run.

I urge the makers of these independent films not to resort to unethical parctices to try and convince us of their movie's merit.

for an "indy" film with a low budget, i found this film enjoyable and funny. as a chick, it looks like a guy movie, but i wasn't grossed out or annoyed and was able to appreciate the funny interactions and the emotional experiences of the characters. this movie looks at how guys can be going through midlife stuff and how it can be hard for them to make commitments and get out of that college phase of life without ridiculing anyone for doing so. the DVD box cover art makes this movie look cheesy and stupid and prepares you for a "porky's" style adventure, but it's not like that at all. one additional perk of this movie is that it has a great soundtrack with some really good modern music that is not played out. unfortunately, the soundtrack is not available. another perk is the lead actor, Joe Egender, who does a great job at leading us through the movie and is not hard on the eyes for any female viewers!! overall, this is a good story of some friends trying to grow up and figure out who they are and we get to come along for the ride and see the various processes that they go through and get some laughs along the way...
