SILVER SPRING, MD; January 29, 2008 —Acorn Media announces the March 25, 2008 DVD debut of Suburban Shootout, a hilarious eight-episode suburban satire featuring top-notch comedic actors, wicked wit, and no-holds-barred plot lines.

Ah, suburbia. The smell of newly mown grass, the colorful blooms in flowerbeds, the clatter of automatic gunfire…at least, that’s how it goes in Little Stempington, a posh London ’burb where the ladies care more about turf wars than topsoil. They stash Glocks in Tupperware, extort protection money from the Wicker Barn, and peddle black-market estrogen patches at the local pub. When mild-mannered Joyce Hazledine (Amelia Bullmore, I’m Alan Partridge) moves to town, she finds herself caught between rival gangs led by Camilla (Anna Chancellor, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Barbara (Felicity Montagu, Bridget Jones’s Diary). Joyce soon learns that in this quaint English village, women don’t kill time—they kill each other.

With its rapid-fire dialogue and hilarious, helter-skelter style, Suburban Shootout rips the respectable veneer off middle-class life and exposes its uproarious underbelly.

Suburban Shootout aired in the U.S. on the Oxygen Channel in 2006 and co-stars Ralph Ineson (U.K.’s The Office).

Episode Titles (8): Hot Flush, Super Sex Me, Kill Bill, Botox Rox, Dance Chill, Throw Momma from the Train, Let the Binging Commence, and What Do I Hear for Rod Stewart’s Thong?

Special Features: Audio commentaries by cast and crew, behind-the-scenes documentary, and cast filmographies. The episodes are closed captioned.
