Brett is overwhelmed until she develops a romance with the seasoned literary star Archie Knox (30 Rock's Alec Baldwin) and is introduced to a glamorous new world. But when she faces a family crisis, Brett must make the decision of a lifetime as this girl from the 'burbs finds herself at a big-city crossroads.

Shockingly poor

Michelle Schofield from London, 8th July, 2008

Having recently seen and loved Sex and the City the movie, I was looking for something to feed my appetite for a similar sassy, intelligent, witty and girly film. Having read the blurb on this, I thought it might have been just what I was looking for and with Sarah Michelle Gellar surely it would be atleast half decent? Erm no.....shocking is the word I would use for how poor this film was. The supposed heroine was a total drip and completely pathetic, her love interest (a rip off of Carrie and Mr Big) completely unbelievable, unlikeable and had more than just a little bit of a pervy old man vibe to him! Cliched, quite boring and with some finger down the throat inducing cheesy lines, this certainly didn't fit the bill of what i was looking for. To be fair to follow SATC is a tall order, but the fact that my friends and I were looking at eachother in confusion and disbelief, waiting for a punchline that never came for most of the film, is never really a sign of a good movie! Don't waste your time!!

Absolute rubbish

Churst from , 17th July, 2008

I didn't even finish it because the storyline was so flat, and the acting so poor. It was pretty hard to even work out what the storyline was, so my review I'm afraid is as vague as the film. I just gave up on it in the end.

Bland or beige would be best words to describe this film. I was disappointed and felt that more could have been made of this. Alec Baldwin seriously underused

Suburban Girl

Keeley Andrews from Wickford, Essex, 26th May, 2010

I saw this film as a trailer and being a huge Buffy fan I thought I would give it a go because of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I wasn't quite sure what to expect and I have to say all in all it was a very pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure if it would be slightly creepy with a relationship between her character and the very much older Alec Baldwin, but it worked...... There was a good chemistry between them both and you got swept along with the story which I really enjoyed. It was funny and sad and very poignant watching the characters grow and develop. Maybe not to everybody's taste but I would recommend it for any girls night in you have planned.

Really, really bad!

what a disappointment - considering the actors in this movie i was hoping for something much better. it is dull & pretentious, boring & leaves you feeling melancholy. a poor offering from Gellar & Baldwin.
