Unbelieveably great

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2000)

American Beauty is one of the most unique and incredible films I've ever seen. I can't even seem to put it in any one category. It gets off to a loud, fast, and funny start and even in its deepest darkest moments, it will never lose its grip on your attention. The entire cast performs incredibly, but most notably Kevin Spacey and Wes Bentley. Great thanks to writer Alan Ball, who created teen characters who are unique, unlike the teenage denizens of stupid, campy movies like She's All That and Scream. This film is full of great acting, wonderful writing, and brilliant direction. Take advantage of the re-release and go see it.
