The Best Film of 1999

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2001)

How can you call this movie a dark comedy? It was dark but it wasn't funny. This is a great stab at suburban society in the USA. It shows that every place in America has problems and the burbs are not as clean-cut as they appear to be. Kevin Spacey steals this movie away from everybody else. Chris Cooper, Annette Benning, Wes Bentley, Thora Birch, Mena Suvari, and Peter Galegher round out probably one of the best casts in one of the best movies of all time. When I first saw this movie, I was stunned. This film cemented the fact that their are problems with everybody everywhere even though it was set in suburbia. The issues dealt with in this movie are pretty sick but it had to be done. I loved this film and it is one my ten personal favorites.
10 out of 10. This is a freaky film. Everybody in the burbs should view it.
