I wasn't trying to slam you or your son or his wife, I
was just saying how much I loved this film.:) Kevin
Spacey is my absolute hero in this film, though he
takes some pointers from the next door drug dealer.
The Colonel is like the worst Dad from hell(though
with good intentions), and his Nazi china alienated me
even more from him. The daughter may have been
"bitchy", but look at the parents she had in that
film! lol
P.S. "I Rule!"
