Summary: It's not Funny, but there's something else about it
Review: First of all, take in mind that I'm a HUGE JLH fan, meaning I've loved almost every single movie and show she's done (except Trojan War. Now THAT was a bad movie). But anyways, yes, I will say it, this movie was not that funny. I mean it's about as funny as being forced to do calculus for about 24 hours straight. So, if you're looking for a laugh, try Can't Hardly Wait. However, they're are all sorts of underlying meanings in this movie. They're kind of hard to recognize, but they ARE there. And of course, Jennifer Love Hewitt is in it. And Will Ferrel. You gotta like Will Ferrel. Basically, in the end, this movie ... in comedy, but for one of those meaningful things that when you sit down, you have to watch until the end, it's ... good. Unfortunately, this WAS supposed to be a comedy, so I give it a star for Love, another for the rest of the cast, and the last for the story. Would've done better, if it actually was supposed to be a meaningful movie, but it wasn't.

Summary: Somebody shoot me.................please
Review: Jennifer Love Hewitt is the only bright spot in this mind dulling dribble. The script leaves you not caring for the characters. I can't say the words to descibe this movie. There is maybe one or two semi funny scenes in the whole 90 min of boredom. If you like daydreaming buy this DVD, because you'll be so bored your mind will be wandering in thousands of directions.

Summary: THE SUBURBANS should never have been made
Review: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ben Stiller...big stars, this film could only be great, yeah?...wrong. A heap of talent wasted their time doing this piece of junk. It is a 70 min something comedy about a group of 80's rockers who decide to reform, and then decide not too. Love Hewitt is the sexy band manager, but what a useless role. Ben and Jerry Stiller are record execs, and filling out the band are Will Ferrel (A Night at the Roxbury), Craig Bierko (The Thirteenth Floor) and a couple of other familiar faces. Amy Brennemann (Casper, Daylight) plays a girlfriend of one of the band members. I dunno why Im wasting my time writing any more about this film, it's an unfunny waste of time.

Summary: Better than "That Thing you Do"
Review: Ok, a lot of people are hammering this movie pretty hard and their opinions are justified. This movie is sort of wack. But it does have enough moments, excuse me, enough Jennifer Love Hewitt to make me like this film. The acting is subpar with the exceptions of Hewitt and Brenneman, and it isn't even remotely funny. Basically this movie gets a good rating because of JLH's awesome presence here.

Summary: One Star, and it goes to JLH and the Stiller's
Review: The characters with the smallest amount of screen time, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ben Stiller and his real life dad, Jerry Stiller, are the only ones worth watching for in this sad little effort. The story is a mishmash and not at all interesting, but hey, Ms Hewitt does look great, so if you're into that I can recommend it. One thing I do want to point out, however, is that there is no commentary track on the DVD, contrary to what the specs show.

Summary: More Jennifer Love Hewitt and more fun than I expected
Review: The Suburbans was both better and worse than I expected it to be. Admittedly, I only bought this movie because of Jennifer Love Hewitt, but it turned out to be a pretty entertaining show. I was under the impression that JLH had only a small part in this film, so I was quite pleased to see more of her than I expected. This was something of an unusual role for her, and she definitely looked rather exotic at times, but she is always gorgeous. In her role as a record company executive, she sets out to resurrect a one-hit wonder group from the early 1980s called The Suburbans. The band members are an interesting bunch of guys, all but one having forgotten their dreams of musical success and dealing with very real issues of families, commitments, and relationships. I expected to get a lot of laughs from Will Ferrell, but he is actually sort of the straight man of the group. This is not to say that laughs are not to be found here, though, as several scenes came out very funny indeed. A few recognizable notables who put in appearances include Amy Brennaman, Robert Loggia, and both generations of the incredibly annoying Stillers. The comedy begins to dissipate in the later stages as the big resurrection mania fails to live up to the hype and a couple of the guys start making the same kind of bad decisions they had made the first time around. Each man has to ask himself whether The Suburbans are better off left in the past, and in so doing they begin to make some of the grown-up decisions about life that they have been putting off for fifteen years. The only problem I have with the movie (besides the fact that Jennifer Love Hewitt isn't in every single scene) is the ending, which left at least two large questions unanswered in my mind. Still, though, this movie played rather well as a whole, convincing me that, while it is no diamond in the rough, it is certainly no throwaway film to be forgotten either.

JLove is the best!! Ben Stiller still can be funny in movies, and as for Ferrel, I'll skip!! Good movie!!
