The Suburbans is a 1999 American comedy-drama film that satirizes the 1980s revival around the turn of the 21st century. It stars Donal Lardner Ward, Craig Bierko, Will Ferrell and Tony Guma as one hit wonder band the Suburbans and Jennifer Love Hewitt as a record company executive who wants to re-establish the band's fame. Ward also co-wrote and directed the film.

The Suburbans premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 1999. It was released on a very limited number of screens (11) on October 29 of the same year, and grossing $11,130, is considered to have failed commercially. Of ten reviews counted at Rotten Tomatoes, all ten are negative.[1]
