Product Description
Review
"Richard Linklater's fine new film subUrbia combines his talents with those of Eric Bogosian and brings out the best in both. Mr. Bogosian's venomously funny play, which he adapted himself for the screen, is given warmth and generosity by Mr. Linklater, whose elegantly fluid direction and great skill with actors are accentuated by the play's sparseness. Mr. Bogosian's knife-edged humor and hairpin turns at the end of the play keep the material from meandering and guarantee the film its sting. --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Pic's fascinations owe in large part to Bogosian's skill at drawing characters that are American archetypes yet quirkily distinct and idiomatic. His dialogue is rich and flavorful, avid at capturing the pungent nuances of slang and the precise verbal textures of a world that seems like a giant invitation to 'smoke a doob and hang out.' His writing also strikes a fine balance in showing both the hopelessness and the hopes of that world, and in conveying that damaged, culturally derelict humanity is still humanity." --Variety

5.0 out of 5 stars
If you liked the movie...,
By A Customer
...you have to read the book! SubUrbia is one of my favorite movies, and I thought I'd read it also. There are several parts in the book that didn't make it to the movie. Also, I finished it in two sittings, so it's not very time consuming.
