Pretty Good, but not Great

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2000)

I saw American Beauty this weekend after hearing nothing but praise from my friends. I was disappointed. It was good but flawed. Poor pacing, predictability and the general message that slammed into you the whole time weakend what could have been a great movie. I think that other than good script and great actors this movie is nothing very special.
My rating 7/10
