Last Hours in Suburbia

I am not usually a Liftetime movie fan, but I watched a repeat of this movie after several of my friends were raving about it. I am glad they recommended it! This movie kept me guessing until the end. I agree with many of the reviews above that it sends a powerful message to teens. I think this is an effective film to show kids the consequences of drinking and driving or even just excessive partying. Grace must defer her college dreams to report to prison. Just one careless night of drinking and partying leads to the death of her best friend. I do not think all the characters were developed enough, though. For example, I would like to know more about Pete. He clearly is a pivotal character in all this. I would have been nice to see him more throughout the movie. I guess this movie is part of a series, so maybe he will star in the next installment! I have been a big Maiara Walsh fan since Desperate Housewives, and she is awesome! I hope she and Steven A. Miller can star in a sequel together.

I really enjoyed Last Hours in Suburbia. As an educator, it really showed taking responsibility for one's actions. The two lead young women were wonderful and totally credible. I loved watching the character, "Pete," (Steve Miller) go from this really cool "with it" guy, to a totally different person who was so lost to the world because of the tragedy that occurred. I'd really like to see more of this actor and all that he is capable of projecting on the screen. He seems to have much potential, especially in his last scene of confrontation. The movie is a good teaching tool for high schoolers and the reality of peer pressure and consequences.

I absolutely love this movie. I think that it has humor, drama, an is a thriller, because it will have u hanging on every minute. It has such an amazing plot and cast that I wish there were more movies like this or even a sequel. Anyone else a agree? That's not to say that it didn't end perfectly! Over all it's above any expectations that is out there! It has so many twists and turns that you will be shocked and maybe even crying by the end. Not to say a sad movie but just because you will be thoroughly moved. A lesson about decisions that will make teens like myself start to take responsibility if and when they choose to make life changing decisions. All teens need to see it for themselves. Lessons to be learned...

I was initially intrigued by Last Hours in Suburbia because of the assumption that the audience would accept Malara Walsh as a spirit, when she appeared to be human in all ways. And the concept worked! Although we couldn't see through her, we somehow knew that she had passed from our world into another. The inclusion of the two male leads provided an excellent contrast between the dramatic struggles of the girls, to the more low-key responses of the boys. I was mesmerized by Steve Miller's ability to keep from over-acting. He reminded me of so many of the males in my life, who try to deal with stress by keeping emotions withheld, dealing without drama, "like a man". Miller was able to convey his confusion and his fear through his eyes, which I see as a sign of a true actor. Well done!

I thought this film was fantastic. The story line was very interesting and the ending was great. I have watched this film twice in the last 2 days and will probably watch it again. Although I would have made a few minor changes as a director like maybe not being able to see Jennifer's shadow. There was also a part where the actress was still in the background waiting for her cue but she was in full vision, these are just minor errors that could have been fixed by the editor but oh well it's done now and the acting was still strong and the characters were portrayed well. Apart from the errors it is definitely a film worth watching. Most people won't pick up on them anyway.
