An enjoyable movie but not as good as it could have been, it really falls short becuase the ending.

It's the same psychbabble bullshit that Linklater got stoned college freshmen excited about in Waking Life except with each character's perspective from angles you/Linklater only half agree with, the other half being worthless palabre from suburban characters invented from stereotypes. The plot is pointedly nonexistent and ends on a cowardly cliffhanger. Compliments: it predates Garden State with its (good but) overbearing alternative soundtrack and Zahn's braindeadedness is fun.

Keep the trouser snake in its trousers, Ribisi...

Linklater's darkest film, and unfortunately one of his worst. The style of his early work is there; it follows tenets of Aristotelian unity and applies them to somewhat realistic depictions of youth culture. In prior works like Slacker and Dazed and Confused, the aimless quality of this youthful era is not judged, but simultaneously mocked and praised. With SubUrbia, it's just ugly, thankless, and portrayed in such a polar extreme that it fails to be that interesting.

Great little film a la Breakfast Club

Decent film.

Should be out on DVD!
