Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2000)

American Beauty (1999) Kevin Spacey,Annette Bening Directed By:Sam Mendes
My Rating ***** (Out of 5)
Last year, a film came out that was so brilliant, so moving, so monumental, that it could only be called "American Beauty". I loved it, this film has got to be one of the best of the 90's. Everything about this film is a huge achievement.
Kevin Spacey plays a troubled husband who falls in love with one of his daughter's best friends. His wife (Beautifully acted by Annete Bening) has no clue that his husband is cheating on her until her daughter suggests that he might be by telling her that her friend has a very large crush on her dad.
All in all, I found that this film was well deserving of the 5 academy awards it recieved at the 72nd annual academy awards (Including best picture)
Highly recommended for everybody
