American Beauty

Kevin Spacey, Annette Benning and Thora Birch

This movie is about a father (Kevin Spacey) who is having a "mid-life" crisis.
He is bored with his job, wife and life that he "wakes up" and starts living his life to the fullest.
Now his wife (Annette Benning) is so wrapped up in her materialistic ways that she has become acustome to, that she is having a hard time understanding him.
Their typical teenage daughter (Thora Birch) hates both of them, has a "slutty" girlfried and is experiencing the "facts of life" with her new boyfriend that lives next door and his family life is not so perfect also.
I dont want to give too much away about this movie but I highly recommend it!!!
It's extremely funny and from what I hear, it's Oscar worthy.
