One Sentence Plot Summary: A midlife crisis in suburban America turns ugly.
Starring: Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari, Chris Cooper, Peter Gallagher, Allison Janney, Scott Bakula, Sam Robards, Ara Celi, John Cho
Best of: Spacey and Bening both create lovable, yet despicable characters. Chris Cooper, as always, is wonderful. Perfect score.
Worst of: A decade later, it doesn't stand up as well as I had hoped. The teenage performances and plot lines mostly fall flat.
Notable: "Lester Burnham," Spacey's character, in an anagram for "Humbert learns" - a reference to Lolita.
Also Nominated: The Sixth Sense
