Ce film a vraiment une ambiance de sitcom américaine, avec toute l’intrigue qui se passe dans la même rue, des acteurs avec un mode de vie un peu gagesque… Mais au-delà de ça ce film a le don de rester très simple et pourtant très efficace je pense que cela est dû à la création de personnages aux caractères très singuliers et qui ont une construction scénaristique très bien mise en place.
Synopsis
Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after developing an infatuation with his daughter's attractive friend.
