It's just a couch!
When did it happen that we became so obsessed over possessions and what other people thought that it ruled our lives? Was it always this way? One day Lester (Kevin Spacey) wakes up and realizes that "It's just a couch!" Only then could he move down the road that led to true happiness. Unfortunately, it proved to be too late, as he came in contact with another (Chris Cooper) who was so wrapped up in hiding who he really was that he drove away his son and turned his wife into a zombie (an unrecognizable Allison Janney).
It was also too late for his wife (Annette Bening) who realized too late that she was consumed with success and had estranged herself from her family.
Super performance by the above and also Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, and Mena Suvari.
Watch this film before it is too late for you.

| This movie was really special.....everything just works for it. I never paid attention to Annette Bening until this. Also seeing Scott Bakula as the gay neighbor was just classic. |
