Wasn't THAT good

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2000)

This movie was good. The acting performances were great, and the writing was pretty good throughout. Kevin Spacey's performance was certainly Oscar worthy.
However, it wasn't a 10. The ending seemed contrived, and was developed poorly. Annette Bening's character had some idiotic lines in the end, and it was never clear throughout the movie why Lester Burnham was hated by his daughter. The two seemed like a natural fit.
I voted it an 8.
