Suburban Girl is a movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Grudge), Alec Baldwin (30 Rock, The Departed) and Maggie Grace (Lost, The Fog), which was filmed in New York City. The movie is adapted from two short stories in Melissa Bank's best-selling novel The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, which spent 16 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list and has been published in more than 27 countries. This romantic comedy is produced by Gigi Pritzker and Deborah Del Prete, producers of The Wedding Planner and Green Street Hooligans. The movie was shown at New York's Tribeca Film Festival in April and May, 2007. The DVD and high-definition Blu-ray Disc was released on January 15, 2008.

For many months, the makers of Suburban Girl used the title of the book, The Girls’ Guide To Hunting and Fishing for their film. Francis Ford Coppola (who has the rights to the title and short story of that name) and American Zoetrope are developing a film which is adapted from the last short story in the book.
