Reviews in German: "Ignored by his neurotic wife (Annette Bening) and his daughter, downtrodden Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) quits his job and embarks on a programme of personal reinvention. *****" (The Times, London)

«Regisseur Sam Mendes demontiert in seinem Kinodebüt auf bissige Weise das Bild amerikanischer Vorstädte als Hort der Harmonie und Glückseligkeit: Eines Tages bricht der angepasste Bürokaufmann Lester Burnham (Oscar für Kevin Spacey) aus seinem Spießerdasein aus und versucht, mit neuem Sportwagen, Sex und Hasch seinem Leben wieder einen Sinn zu geben.
Warum wir ihn lieben: Kevin Spaceys sarkastische Monologe sind das Highlight dieser hintersinnigen Vorstadt-Satire. "Sehen Sie mich an: Ich hol’ mir unter der Dusche einen runter. Das wird der Höhepunkt meines Tages. Von jetzt an geht’s nur noch bergab."» (Cinema)
