Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2004)

The following is a LIKES/DISLIKES listing for American Beauty.
PLEASE NOTE:ALL SPOILERS ARE REPRESENTED WITH **SP** AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SENTENCE.
ENJOY.
LIKES:
1)Kevin Spacey's performance(never been the biggest fan but I suppose anything by Alan Ball is pretty hard to mess up)
2)Alan Ball's screenplay
3)Sam Mendes' directional personality, that theatre background spoke volumes in every scene
**SP**4)Cinematography...one of my favorite visual scenes was the living room conversation between Bening and Spacey(he in a recliner and she standing up behind him)
5)Wes Bentley
6)Chris Cooper
DISLIKES:
Are you kidding!!...well perhaps the fact Annette Bening was robbed at the Oscars
**SP**FAVORITE MOMENT:The entire production...namely Ricky's..."Don't Give Up On Me Dad" dialogue .....MORE INFORMATION TO BE ADDED AT A LATER DATE
