Uneven but pleasantly acrid romantic comedy.

...possesses too few positive attributes to even warrant a mild recommendation...

The best thing about this May December romance is Alex Baldwin, who gives a compelling performance as the publishing king who keeps a photo album of his ex girlfriends.

Why would you take a pretty cool title like The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing and sub in a generic, borderline-lame one like Suburban Girl?

Rated: 2/5

A pleasant surprise. Sarah Michelle Gellar's best work; Baldwin is so good.

No es la mejor comedia romántica pero tampoco la peor. La historia no será muy buena que digamos pero la química de Sarah Michelle Gellar y Alec Baldwin logra mantener la película en pie.

A mess on almost every level. The acting and production values are fine, but the script and tone are a disaster. Even though the age difference is addressed several times in the film, it still came across as creepy and awkward. At 1 hr 37 mins the film feels like the first act is missing but is still overly long. The coverart and Internet list the genre as romantic comedy, but there are no laughs (intentional at least) to be found. It wants to be lighthearted, but deals with cancer, infidelity, and more. Both Gellar and Baldwin each have instances of laugh out-loud horrible dialog. It all goes downhill after the opening credits featuring 'Love Song'. Don't waste your time, not even a rental.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
