The criticism of this film is not well-founded.

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2000)

I just read some of the comments on "American Beauty" and I was surprised on the many negative comments on the film. I think that the movie in an excellent way shows how a person can "wake up" and rediscover the beauty of life; where materialistic stuff is not as important as human values. And I want to say to all of you who are having second thoughts about watching this movie because of the negative comments: Their argumentation is not at all well-founded and it falls apart when you look closer. So do yourself a favour and go watch the movie.
