Could very well be one of the best of 99

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 1999)

What a film! Everyone in it is perfect, especially Spacey and Bening who should be nominated for their roles. The movie should get many awards as well. An intricate story that actually has a plot. Bored with being told what to do, Spacey decides to change his ways to win over his daughter's cheerleader friend, Angela who he lusts after the minute he sees her (the fantasy scenes are erotic, funny and sensual), he starts smoking pot, blackmails his boss, and working out. Bening, bored with him as well, begins to explore her other side as well. She is annoyingly perfect, and she reminds you of Martha Stewart. She plays the part perfectly. Other stories include the new next door neighbor's and their voyeuristic son Ricky, who videotapes everything like a bag blowing in the breeze and a dead bird. Because the movie is sensually erotic and provoking at the same time, that's what makes it so good to watch. Oscars all around in my opinion. Start the fall off with good movies like this! Highly recommended-4 stars.
