My friends and I watched Dazed and Confused and loved it. When Suburbia came out, we noticed these two movies shared the same director. Suburbia was very disappointing, all the characters are ignorant and think they aren't. This movie portrays the fight for status among a group of idiotic young americans. The only smart person in the movie is the foreign "jiffy store" owner. The acting is fair. Parker Posey has definitely the most likeable character, and she plays her part well. Steve Zahn highly reminds me of Jim Brewer, and he does basically the only funny action in the entire movie. This movie had great potential, but the characters are unwilling to listen to reason. If you want to see a similar movie, watch Dazed and Confused. If you want to see one a little more mature, watch Swingers. I have to say I wasted $3.00 renting Suburbia.
