'subUrbia'

Scene from this movie A group of listless, 20-year-olds confronts an uncertain future with familiar reluctance in "subUrbia," a self-pitying blab-fest that begs the question, "So what else is new?" Apparently, not much. It seems, nothing ever changes in Slackerville.

Since paradise has been paved, the kids no longer gather in grassy fields for games of ball. Instead, they practice the fine art of hanging out in the parking lot of a convenience store. Like disaffected youth in the beat and boom generations, the friends have just discovered that reality bites -- or in this case, gets a case of the munchies. Navel-gazing, bellyaching and agonizing ensue. -- Rita Kempley
