==Reception== ===Box office=== The film opened with $1.9 million. Overall, the film grossed a total of $8,002,361 in the United States. With a budget of $11 million, the film was a commercial failure.<ref name="BOM" /> ===Critical response=== On [[Rotten Tomatoes]] the film has an approval rating of 15% based on 13 reviews.<ref>{{cite web |title=Suburban Commando |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/suburban_commando/ |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date= 2020-01-20}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] noted, "This is the second feature starring Hulk Hogan, the man who looks like a comic strip hero. Hogan's range is limited, but not as limited as the movies he's appeared in. Despite the fact that his public image is often aimed at children - there's a whole line of Hulk Hogan toys - his first film, ''[[No Holds Barred (1989 film)|No Holds Barred]]'' (1989) was surprisingly violent, sexist and blood-soaked. Now here's 'Suburban Commando', which is at least innocuous, but which gives the Hulkster so little to do that his fans may wonder why he bothered."<ref>{{cite news |date=October 4, 1991 |last=Ebert |first=Roger |author-link=Roger Ebert |title=Suburban Commando |work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/suburban-commando-1991 |access-date= 2020-01-20 }}</ref> Michael Wilmington opened his review for it in the Los Angeles Times by saying that all the main personnel were "likeable" but that "all that likability combined, or even cubed, doesn't create any pressing reason to pay admission to "Suburban Commando" - unless you're an obsessed movie completist or a sudden cloudburst drives you to shelter."<ref>{{cite news |date=October 7, 1991 |author=Michael Wilmington |title='Commando' a Weak Effort |work= [[Los Angeles Times]] |url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-10-07-ca-68-story.html |access-date= 2012-06-02 }}</ref> [[Stephen Holden]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'', noted that despite the fact that it "has little narrative continuity, it is well paced and has an amusingly sour performance by Larry Miller as the kind of boss you love to hate."<ref>{{cite news |last=Holden |first=Stephen |author-link=Stephen Holden |date=October 6, 1991 |title=Review/Film; A Space Warrior Learns Suburban Ways |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/06/movies/review-film-a-space-warrior-learns-suburban-ways.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=2020-01-20}}</ref>
