That's just it, tho...it's not the things you hated in the film that I loved
about it. For me, the movie centered around Lester's growth and the issues
he overcame in order to grow into the person he became. These issues lay
right at the heart of his family's dysfunction -- and the dysfunction of the
family next door, for that matter.
Will go into more detail later...
