Reception
editVariety dismissed the film as "yet another depiction of the collective anomie felt by a group of thirtysomething friends clinging to their high-school glory days. Tyro writer-director Mitchell Altieri's thin, but occasionally engaging pic plods along a path well-trodden by indie filmmakers of the '90s, particularly Whit Stillman and Noah Baumbach, while never amassing the rich characterizations or pointed insights that have distinguished this genre's more memorable efforts."[2] Don R. Lewis of Film Threat rated it 4/5 stars and wrote, "Lurking in Suburbia isn’t a perfect film, but it's a damn good one."[3] Scott Weinberg of DVD Talk rated it 4/5 stars and described it as "a sly, personal, and low-key indie comedy that manages to become more accessible and likable the longer it goes on."[1] David Johnson of DVD Verdict called it "an authentic, lighthearted, well-acted look at one guy's struggles with growing up."[4]
