Character Role Analysis

Lester

Lester is the star of the show. In fact, there are two of them: Alive Lester, the character we see in the movie, and Dead Lester, aka Voiceover Lester, who narrates the movie at certain points. It's his personal journey from pathetic shlub to confident, semi-athletic man that takes center stage, and while we care about the other characters, his drama is the movie's heart.
