Curiosità:
Lester Burnham, a middle-aged man who develops an infatuation with an adolescent girl, is an update of Humbert Humbert from the classic novel "Lolita". "Lester Burnham" is an anagram for "Humbert learns". ancoraErrori:
Varie: In the up-close shot of Carolyn scrubbing the counter of the "For Sale" house, you can see the refrigerator, wall outlet and counter layout set a specific way. Later when she shows the house to perspective buyers, everything has switched spots signifying that the negatives in the former scene were flipped. ancoraCitazioni:
[first lines]Jane Burnham: I need a father who's a role model, not some horny geek-boy who's gonna spray his shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home from school. What a lame-o. Someone really should just put him out of his misery.
Ricky Fitts: Want me to kill him for you?
Jane Burnham: Yeah. Would you?

This movie was a joy to watch. I didn't know what to expect when I came into it. I had heard the buzz of the acting and the story, etc...but we've all heard that before and had been disappointed, but not so with this one.
Kevin Spacey plays this part to a "T". He is strong when it requires and meek when it is needed. His emotional rollercoaster ride is a trip to partake in. Annette Bening is marvelous as well. I think they both should be nominated.
The support cast is also spectacular. Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, and Mena Suvari all give great performances as the troubled "Teenagers" in the film. Of particular mention is Wes Bentley's performance, worthy of a supporting nomination as well.
This is a dramatic and funny tale of a man and his life in a state of turmoil and transition. When he happens to see a beautiful friend of his daughter's at a cheerleading exhibition, he is completely infatuated with her beauty. Using this as his inspiration, he attempts to change all aspects of his life. He confronts his marriage, his job, his ego, and his libido.
The music in this film is also very well chosen. There are moments when the music fits so perfectly with the scene that they meld together as one to present a perfect emotion.
The plot can get rather involved, but you will follow it endlessly to see where you go. I was simply involved, hook, line and sinker.
See this movie more than once, and skip some of the other movies out now that are dare I say, trash.
This should be on the top of many critic's lists this year and it is certainly on top of mine.
My Rating (1 - 10): 10
