The girls character is supposed to be like 17??? And Spacey is 40+, the movie has some sick thought to it.
If you had a daughter and she was in that situation I don't know if you'd have the same feelings of positivity for that flick.
Far as I'm concerned the movie was fucked. There was some good views concerning adulthood/ career / relationships and such, but that whole daughter's friend thing is a total play on typical older male wants to sleep with a young attractive girl/woman. I think it was trying to be intelligent and provactive but for me it fell short.
dude was sick.
