A sad, yet beautiful and often funny movie...(Possible Spoiler)

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2000)

A sad, yet beautiful and often funny movie about a man who loves his family but isn't loved back. I can really relate to Lester (Kevin Spacey). Lester loves his family and his wife (Annette Bening) and daughter (Thora Birch) don't seem to want anything to do with him. In the end, he dies looking fondly at a picture of his family when his daughter is very young and that really got to me. Not to mention his last inquiry was about how his daughter was doing because she wouldn't tell him in a million years. Overall, I'd recommend this movie to anyone who likes great stories, great acting, beautiful cinematography, and real life problems brought into crystal clear view.
