Format:DVD
Brett is an associate book editor, hoping to make full editor soon. She is however, terribly unsure of herself. She lives her life the same way she edits book - with a pencil, writing, erasing, writing again (sometimes even the same thing again) and having serious doubts. Then she meets big-time editor Archie, who just happens to be twice her own age. There relationship evolves to a professional teacher/student relationship and a romantic relationship as well.
I enjoyed this romantic comedy more than I had anticipated. It is as soggy romantic as I had dreaded, but more the kind of movie, where you laugh and end up recgonizing bits and pieces from your own life. Who hasn't ended reassurance in a relationship or professionally? Who hasn't felt the serious doubt about what they were doing? Who hasn't been compelled to take charge, even if they do it poorly and reach some point of independence?
I would also like to compliment the performances from Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alec Baldwin. They are fabulous together in "Suburban girl".
Oh yes, I have to say, that the dialogue is witty and wonderful, full of literary references. It is nice to see a romantic comedy where they use words with three syllables or more.
Yes, this is a romantic comedy for Sunday afternoons on the couch, but it will make you want to break out and be independent.

This movie was way better than I expected from some of the reviews.
In essence it's a younger girl fall for older guy movie, but at times it's quite intense and profound and has gentle humour running through it.
Some of the one liners are brilliant.
Sarah Michelle Geller is an aspiring assistant editor in a small publishing house. As she tries to further her career by befriending publisher Archie Knox (Alec Baldwin) she finds herself being woo-ed by Knox and eventually falls for his charms.
The acting is very believable and the script, whilst not a classic holds together very well. The ending is very touching.

This is a beautifully filmed,subtle and consistently humorous romantic comedy set in New York. Good chemistry between Alec Baldwin and Sarah Michelle Geller as the odd couple.If you're looking for a moving film that's positive even when dealing with negative events in life then this is your cup of tea.But too lightweight to be a mug - it doesn't have the lasting impact of something like Love Story ( with Ryan O Neill and Ali McGraw ).

A sensitive and balanced Rom Com
This is a romantic comedy set in New York. There is a natural feel to the dialogue between Alec Baldwin (the older one) and Sarah Michelle Geller (seriously much younger). Read more

A relationship with an older man
Probably not a film to invite you friends round to see as it is not a
teen movie or a romcom.
However it is a good film that I will watch again. Read more

It's ok
I brought this DVD because I am a massive fan of Sarah M-G but I didn't think this film was very good. I was hoping for a real chick flick but this is not one!

Watch the trailer first, then trust your judgement
I watched the trailer and thought the film looked very medioka. However, against my better judgement, I thought the other reviews written here made it worth a chance! Read more
