Annette Bening co-stars as Lesters materialistic wife, Carolyn, and Thora Birch plays their insecure daughter, Jane; Wes Bentley, Chris Cooper and Allison Janney also feature. ; The film has been described by academics as a satire of American middle class notions of beauty and personal satisfaction; analysis has focused on the films explorations of romantic and paternal love, sexuality, beauty, materialism, alienation, self-liberation and redemption. ; In the beginning of the film, there is a narrator that tell us the leading actor Lester was dead ,and let us feel interested in the plot and why he was killed.

Its about the pursuit of youth, respect, power, and, of course, beauty .Lesters thoughts about Angela are impure, but not perverted; he wants to do what men are programmed to do, with the most beautiful woman he has ever seen .T
