Yeah I know, calling an Academy award winner a gem seems like cheating. Deal with it. I had it in the good category all this time. I just decided that it's darkness was a bigger lesson than I thought.
I dont want to watch it over and over again. In a sense, knowing what happens just spoils the plot. Kevin Spacey stars as a middle aged husband in a midlife crisis who has the hots for his daughters attractive high school friend. Annette Bening plays his uptight philandering wife.
You'd think that it would be VERY creepy the old guy hitting on hte young girl, the truth is Spacey's character redeems himself. He figures out what he truly loves about life. I'll just stop there and tell you the twists and turns are worth a watch.
Someone must have pilfered the VHS as they all say missing. That's alright, North Bend and Coos Bay have the DVD
