Did I miss something or is there no story ?

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2016)

One of the most overrated movies and the reason why Kevin Spacey is incapable of getting any serious role and who by the way actually says he is the best impressionist of all time when he can't even match the voices he imitates (hi, I have sunglasses, I'm Jack Nicholson).
I am stunned that this movie could make such a buzz at the Academy - where's the story ! What is it about ? So the narrator is a dead man. I repeat, the narrator is a dead man ! This has to be the silliest script of the 90s, the actors are awful, it is maudlin, shockingly tacky, incredibly slow and cheesy, none of the events make any sense, there's no purpose, the characters just wonder and yawn.
Quite frankly,I'd rate Scream higher than American Beauty. It is a waste of time and attention.
