Suburban Girl (2007)
7/10
This review will be biased as I am a HUGE Sarah Michelle Gellar fanatic!

Honestly, I am a firm hater of chick-flicks. However, Sarah Michelle Gellar is my favourite actress and I will see anything she is in. So, upon seeing that she was in a movie that looked very much like a typical chick-flick I was hesitant...but not hesitant enough. I was pleasantly surprised to find a rather enjoyable and charming little movie in 'Suburban Girl' and not the clichéd mess you might expect. SMG and Alec Baldwin have amazing chemistry and the story is interesting and switches around many aspects of our main characters life rather than focusing on her relationship.

Brett Eisenberg (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is an assistant book editor living in New York. Her life is changed when she catches the attention of Archie Knox (Alec Baldwin), an elderly editor-in-chief for a major publisher. They are soon dating and Brett soon moves in with Archie. However, when the new boss arrives, Brett's father becomes sick and Archie admits to a few problems, her life begins to change.

This movie is basically your light, fluffy little world to escape to for around 90 minutes. It isn't in-depth and little concentration is required but this is a funny and touching movie aiding by some great performances and competent directing.

3½/5
