SubUrbia is a 1996 American comedy drama film directed by Richard Linklater from a screenplay by Eric Bogosian, based on his play of the same name.

Three years out of high school in the fictional town of Burnfield, four friends are in the daily habit of hanging out drinking by the garbage dumpster of a corner convenience store, occasionally taunting the Pakistan-born owners and operators, married couple Nazeer and Pakeesa.

He is dating Sooze, a student at the local community college who plans to leave Burnfield and study visual arts in New York City.

Tim, recently honorably discharged from the Air Force, is a troubled heavy drinker with a knack for shooting off his mouth.

Hours later, Jeff meets up with Buff, who tells him that he slept with Erica and is planning to go to Los Angeles to shoot a Dreamgirl music video.

Actors Samia Shoaib and Steve Zahn reprise their roles from the original stage production (1994) at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.

The site's consensus states: "SubUrbia succeeds in its blistering, ensemble-driven exploration of middle America, though it never quite reconciles the disparate stylings of director Richard Linklater and writer Eric Bogosian.
