Picture Perfect

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2005)

Sam Mendes does a great job showing the troubles and problems a teenager might go through during their high school career. I'd have to say that this movie was more based around the father's life and his problems with it. Mendes really portrays well what a troubled father ready to give it all up might do to get things to go his way. The creepy neighbor boy was a bit far fetched but added the third part of the story that i believe it needed. The use of roses was amazing and were perfect for the times they were used. the cast for this was a perfect selection. Kevin Spacey played a perfect role as the miserable father/husband. Thora Birch was the best choice for a wanna popular dark teenager. Overall this was a great movie to watch and one worth its time.
