"The Suburbanite" is a short film whose message is that moving to the suburbs isn't all it's cracked up to be. During the course of this nine minute film, you see the movers absolutely destroy everything, children getting into trouble, the family having problems keeping servants AND the mother-in-law deciding to move in with them. Surely life was better before they moved!
As I read through JoeytheBrit's review, I noticed that he was right....some of the scenes go on too long and should have been edited. Still, they crammed a lot into nine minutes! Is it hilarious? Probably for those living back in 1904, thugh today it probably isn't the sort of thing normal folks would watch unless paid to do so. I like old films, so I enjoyed it...though my taste is unique!
