Wonderful character development!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Taking responsibility for one's actions is one thing, our leading lady legitimately did not know what happened on the night of her dear friend's death. Her friend evidently knew and comes back to help our accused find the solution to what had occurred.For a girl who is now dead and can only be seen by the accused, she is very jolly with caustic one-liners spoken as the two attempt to reconstruct what happened at the party and afterward in the car on that fateful day.The ending, I guarantee, will not be satisfying to the viewer, but may very well be true to life.This film would have worked far better had it been a comedy. I could see that in the 1940s and the end would have been different and therefore satisfying.

I was really impressed with this film and genuinely surprised by the excellent acting. Most important was the film's very relevant message for both teens and college students. I love a movie that keeps me guessing and this was one of the few that actually surprised me! I thought the female leads were very talented; actually, the actors were appealing but I found myself drawn to the character of Pete. I thought his transformation was amazing. Although I am an older viewer, I watched this film with my college age niece and her boyfriend and they appeared equally engaged in the film. What was even more satisfying was watching them discuss the film and the messages it conveyed. I would love to see the female leads and the actor who played Pete in other films. I think they have excellent potential and their attractiveness certainly makes them appealing to viewers of all ages.

I am not usually a Liftetime movie fan, but I watched a repeat of this movie after several of my friends were raving about it. I am glad they recommended it! This movie kept me guessing until the end. I agree with many of the reviews above that it sends a powerful message to teens. I think this is an effective film to show kids the consequences of drinking and driving or even just excessive partying. Grace must defer her college dreams to report to prison. Just one careless night of drinking and partying leads to the death of her best friend. I do not think all the characters were developed enough, though. For example, I would like to know more about Pete. He clearly is a pivotal character in all this. I would have been nice to see him more throughout the movie. I guess this movie is part of a series, so maybe he will star in the next installment! I have been a big Maiara Walsh fan since Desperate Housewives, and she is awesome! I hope she and Steven A. Miller can star in a sequel together.

The powerful message in "Last Hours in Suburbia" is most compelling. This movie is a must-see for adolescents. Maiara was superb, and the handsome young actor, Steven Miller, was a refreshing new face who was most convincing in his role.The idea behind "Suburbia" is catching on and most relevant--I am thinking (as are my friends) that this could spin off into a mini-series of sorts, perhaps similar to "Revenge' or 'Desperate Housewives" with twenty-somethings in the lead roles. There is so much material in our suburbs---stories abound--based in truth. Maiara Walsh and Steven Miller could make a series like leap to life---I think it would sell.
