Brett Eisenberg: Yeah
Robert Eisenberg: Look, you know I don't like to get involved in your life. But this is the reason that I don't... That I'm worried about this relationship with this man. If Archie isn't going to take care of himself someone else will. I don't want you to have to spend your life that way.

Suburban Girl just seemed like a remake of all the tragic love story movies there are in the world,but still this movie was a little weird to me.It took on a different perspective than the other love story movies.I sure know it was a really good movie,but I don't think it was vital to have this movie made,because there wasn't much of an impact as to how it affected audiences.I mean,you have Sarah Michelle Gellar,one fine actor,playing as a girl who falls in love just by chance with a really old guy,played by Alec Baldwin,and then what!!!???I mean,that just seems unlikely don't you think?!Also,I don't have any clue as to what this movie was supposed to be made as!!!It's not romantic,not funny,not sad,and it is certainly not scary or historical,I just covered most of the genres right there.Well,I would not absolutely recommend this movie,but I will say it is really good,just never will it be great.
