Lurking in Suburbia

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.

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

After watching this film, I was excited that it wasn't just another comedy that had no meaning. This film actually made me care about the characters in the film and the storyline was true to life.

Most comedies are carbon copies of one another. I love the fact that this film took it a step above. It wasn't one fart joke or pot smoking joke after another. It actually made real life funny, which to me makes the difference, and had me laughing non-stop!

Watching a film about morons with no plot maybe for some but this film is about morons with a great story behind it. It's definitely worth your time! The characters are great, the story is real, and most of all it's not a copy of anything lame.

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!

This film was a major find among the soup that passes for comedy these days. Found it at my Blockbuster in new releases and picked it up thinking I'd give it a shot. Wow. Although it appears this film was made as one of those indie shoestring types, the quality that shines through makes it top on my list of great films seen so far this year.

You get to follow this main character, Connie, around the 24 hours surrounding his birthday, seeing him get in and out of painfully funny scenarios and realize why he and most of his generation have a hard time committing to growing up. I don't think it matters how old you are - everyone can relate to not wanting to get older or things to change, and this film makes you feel better about that invisible transition that has to happen. But the best thing about the film is that the ingenuous comedy overflows into honest and heartfelt scenes, creating that perfect balance of resembling real life and bringing home a real story that you don't usually get in most comedies. Reminding me of an early Cameron Crowe or "High Fidelity" kind of film.

The characters are recognizable instantly without being tiresome and Joe Egender, who played Connie really draws you in, I haven't seen him in other films but have a feeling we'll be hearing a lot more about this guy in the future.

Mostly what I liked about this film is that after watching it I wanted to call up my friends, go out for a beer and just hang out, soaking up whatever it is we've all grown up into. Deft writer/director Mitchell Altieri puts love into his characters, and it shows. It's one of those films when you're done watching it you just want it to continue going.
