About
An emotionally & spiritually comatose suburban man decides "to hell with it all" and reverts to living as he did when he was happiest--as a carefree teenager. His desperately uptight wife and sullen daughter can only look on as he quits his corporate job to become a burger flipper, starts getting high with a strange new neighbor (whose parents are even stranger) and lusts after a pouty blonde teenager--his daughter's best friend.
A biting, penetrating and often humorous look at contemporary life in suburban America. When midlife crisis hits, Lester Burnham's fascination with a young girl spurs him to make some major changes in his life.
