Well described characters

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2000)

One of the best things of this movie is their characters. The man that knows that has nothing to loose and wants to play hard.
The woman that just worries about getting money and be important and show it to all the people, and make them know that she has a good life. All this reasons is what makes this family do not work very good!

The daughter that feels out of her family, and her popular beautiful cheerleader (very, very, very, very common in American Society, and every day gets common to any other country).
The neighbors. The crazy mother, and the strict general, and his weird but intelligent son, that doesn't know how to leave his house.
All this definitions is the way I've understood this movie, and how all this people is trying to get their goal, even if that has to destroy other peoples life.
In this movie, everyone sees reflected in some way. The younger people, more or less has felt like the daughter at least once. And looking around, this family is what society asks for, but Lester! He would be the trouble maker one!
Great screenplay on my reason, and very well played for each actor! I don't know if it deserved all the nominations that has gotten, and I don't know if is the best movie of the year (I haven't seen all of them, so...).

Well, I wish my best luck to all of them!
