    A fresh and beautifully timed, if slight, romantic comedy.
  2. Reviewed by: Ernest Hardy
    Wants to be many things, but ends up being not much of anything.
  3. Reviewed by: Janet Maslin
    It's cute and jokey and has no particular edge.
  4. Good-natured but mostly unfunny.
  5. Goes into a tailspin after its impressive setup. Its dramatic tactics become so tangled and diffuse that, by the end, you get the feeling that everything gets tied up too hastily.
  6. Reviewed by: Dennis Harvey
    A mediocre ensemble comedy-drama that's not particularly funny, involving or even nostalgic.
  7. 30
    The movie's repeated attempts to combine seriousness and humor as in a blender give it a dysfunctionally earnest tone.

  9. A desperately unfunny comedy that wastes a brand-name cast.
  10. Reviewed by: Kellam Eanes
    A miserable failure.

    By appearing in The Suburbans, a stunningly laugh-free comedy, (Jennifer Love Hewitt)'s already gotten her career-worst movie out of the way.
