Abrams II, Part 2: The Suburbans. Running Time: 54 minutes 21 seconds In 1999, J.J. Abrams produced his second feature film, The Suburbans . The movie, directed by Donal Lardner Ward, looks at a one-hit wonder from the 80s which is attempting to stage a comeback in the 90s. The cast features Ward, Abrams favorite Tony Guma (who co-wrote the script with Ward), up-and-coming star Will Ferrell, and 90s icon Jennifer Love Hewitt. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars , Mike and John look at this lost film from Abrams' pre-Bad Robot career.
