so, what was so great about it again?

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2000)

I had been waiting for this film for a long time and with all the oscar talk i expected it to be something brilliant and outrageous. I thought it was very tame, and not terribly interesting. It was quite funny in parts, but so what? Good acting though. If you want to see better movies about the underbelly of American suburbia see "Happiness" or the more bizarre "Blue Velvet". Those movies will knock your socks off.
