Suburban Girl

At the same time, Brett is shown to be incredibly close to her father; she is seen constantly explaining her situation and asking for his advice. While visiting her family home she is shocked to discover that he has cancer and that she was the last to know behind her brother Ethan Ebon Moss-Bachrach , because her father felt she could not handle the news.

Feeling depressed and unwell, Brett makes an awful impression on a celebrity client until Archie appears and rescues the situation. They decide to give their relationship another try and Brett introduces him to her family, who are uneasy with the age difference; her father especially after learning that Archie is an alcoholic when he is admitted to hospital.

Brett's father tells her that she shouldn't have to spend her life taking care of Archie. Later, it is revealed that her father has died and Brett realizes she must finally deal with her problems without his support. Following this, Archie proposes using the Blackberry Brett bought him but she turns him down, telling him that they see each other as teacher and student and not as equals.

She says she needs time to be happy and grow up on her own. The end of the film finds Brett finally confident in herself as she finally wears a pair of leather pants she was previously too scared to wear, and editing her work in a decisive way by using a pen instead of a pencil, as is seen throughout the film. Jack Nicholson can only be redeemed by settling for a woman near his age at the end of Something Has to Give. Suburban Girl has an intelligent script that manages to sidestep such apologia. It also doesn't try to dilute the issue or make the motives of its main characters nobler than what they are.

The December character Alec Baldwin in excellent self-parodying mode is a diabetic and recovering alcoholic. He is also a self-confessed womanizer and an absentee father with serious daughter issues. The May of the film Sarah Michelle Gellar acting as if she is using the film as personal therapy is a father-worshiper and has no qualms about allowing the older man to use his influence to better her career. It is all too real.

All About Baldwin At Suburban Girl

The unevenness of the directorial treatment might alienate the mainstream audience that seem to prefer their comedies separate from their dramas. The sweet-sour ending will also add to the audience confusion. Supporting roles are cleverly underplayed by a competent ensemble. Maggie Grace, one of the early casualties of the TV hit Lost, is surprisingly effective in a role that seems to have been written for her. Start your free trial.
