Yeah it's really about how people can really internally change and yet because of previous circumstances be forced to live out a life they were not happy with and did not expect. The teens in the movie thought they were rebelling against their parents but really, they were simply doing the same thing as Lester and Carolyn trying to fill a void which they didn't understand. I could easily see them falling into the same traps.When witnessing the love between the daughter and her boyfriend, you can't help but think that the same fate awaits them that led to their parents dysfunctions. Scary stuff
