Kevin Spacey is a master.

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 1999)

I just saw this movie, and I must say, that it is an awesome movie. Kevin Spacey is a terrific actor and showed us in this movie just how versatile he is, moving away from what he is known for.

The movie is very dark, and strange. It starts out very weird. The plot moves quickly and gets you to identify with all of the characters. Even though all the characters are total psychos!!!
Hmmmmm... how do I explain what this movie is about, it's not very easy. Well, Kevin Spacey plays Lester Burnham, a total loser. He is trying to find meaning in his life. And says he is reborn when he meets a cheerleader who is a good friend of his daughter, Jeanie. Anette Benning plays Lester's wife. A real-estate agent who really isn't helping Lester's low self-esteem.
Spacey plays Lester Burnham perfectly. That's all there is to it. He is an awesome actor. Anette Benning plays her character perfectly also. A great cast in a great movie with a great story with humor, drama, and just plain immoral insanity. You just can't go wrong.
I give this movie 5 stars, it's just that good. There is no doubt in my mind this will get nominated for best picture, best actor (Spacey rules), Best actress (Benning is amazing). And best original screenplay (i don't even need to explain why).
Just go see it... you wont be disappointed, it's a great movie.
