In my backyard.... im serious

suburbs

The location is never really stated. But given the look and weather it is probably a stand in for Southern California.

It's the exaggerated mockery of movie suburbs where everything is the same.

The movie is supposed to take place in a generic American suburban town. To get the look, the filming took place in the suburbs of Tampa, FL.
