I don't see what the big deal is, I really don't

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2000)

At the time I am writing this "American Beauty" is rated #2 on IMDB's top movies list. And that leaves me with one question. Why? Why do most people love "American beauty?" Why did it win oscars? And why is it so over rated? I seen stories like "American Beauty" lots of times and "American Beauty" is no different or better. I can go turn on my television right now and get the same thing you see in "American Beauty". But anyway, the whole movie goes one place and thats nowhere. The movie drags on and on and I keep asking myself one question. "Am I supposed to really care "? The movie is a waste of time and pointless. I am American but i don't see any beauty whatsoever in "American Beauty". 1/10
