10 More Really Annoying Movie Characters

8. Angela Hayes (American Beauty)

AngelaHayes Detestable cheerleader Angela Hayes (Mena Suvari) was pretty much the only negative aspect of the phenomenally brilliant American Beauty (even if she did turn out okay in the end). She essentially plays the popular cheerleading stereotype - always talking about (and supposedly having) sex, pretentious, so far up herself she can lick her own stomach and always looking down upon the less popular crowd. She even drops a C-bomb. Nevertheless, she soon becomes a point of attraction for the film's main character Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) who also happens to be her best friend's Dad. This is followed by cringe-worthy flirtations and, ultimately, a near-miss sex scene in which she declares she's actually a virgin, despite all of her prior sexual boasting, and Lester Burnham bows out of the situation with his pride intact. After that, it turned out she wasn't actually too bad a person, but she was indeed a 'C-bomb' for much of the film.
