Funniest Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2006)

American Beauty is one of the Funniest Movies of the year. Kevin Spacey delivers yet another superb performance. Kevin has given us great performances in the past like L.A Confidential and Usual Suspects. This time, he plays a middle aged suburban man, bored with life. The film tells the story of his life, just before he dies. Annete Bening in a fabulous role plays his wife, having an affair. Thora Birch is Kevins daughter in love with the weird kid next door. Mena Suvari is the highlight of the film, with the famous red flower bath scene. Mena looks incredibly sexy playing the girl with dirty intentions. The funniest scene is when Kevin catches his wife with another man in a driveway. He tells the guy, I'm sure you'll remember my face this time. Great stuff
