there are a few scenes i really liked. blackmailing his boss, applying to work at the fast food place, lester explaining he didn't "lose" his job but rather he quit, the boy quitting his waiter job. didn't really care for the whole ending about a homophobic homosexual or his crush on the blonde.

Hmmm this pretty much sums it up. Good movie with some great scenes/dialogue but it definitely didnt knock me out of my seat.

thats miss congeniality.

from imdb:
Quote
Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after becoming infatuated with his daughter's attractive friend.


Quote
Lester and Carolyn Burnham are on the outside, a perfect husband and wife, in a perfect house, in a perfect neighborhood. But inside, Lester is slipping deeper and deeper into a hopeless depression. He finally snaps when he becomes infatuated with one of his daughter's friends. Meanwhile, his daughter Jane is developing a happy friendship with a shy boy-next-door named Ricky, who lives with a homophobic father.

That's like 50 miles in the opposite direction of what this movie is, haha.

It's a critically acclaimed film with numerous interpretations, any single explanation wouldn't do it any justice. Surprised you haven't seen it.
Once of Kevin Spacey's best films/roles to date.

Is it a classic cause it's actually good or because it won so many awards?
