Beautiful American Lifestyles

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2000)

It's another one of those "oh, so that''s what it's really like!" movies. All I can say is Wow! The acting was superbly done, the setting and colour usage were fantastic. I know that's how the story was supposed to go but it was so raw to me it was almost scary. I guess that's what made it good, because of it's 'realism'. But I don't think it should have won best picture at the Oscars. I don't know maybe I'm wrong to some people. My favorite character I would have to say was Lester because of his humor. I can sort of relate to the story too and I think that's why people liked it so much. Good Job Mr. Meades!
