When people think of suburbia i don't think the first thing that comes to mind is what goes on in this film.

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2005)

In our society if you have money, a family,and a good job then there is nothing that could possibly go wrong in your life. Your life is perfect, and you should be happy with what you have. But as American Beauty shows us this isn't true. It doesn't matter if you live in suburbia or not. American Beauty is a great film, some people might think that it's going over the edge with what goes on in the movie, but I think it's just showing every possible thing that could be going on in a family. The casting in this film is one of the best jobs I've seen, there isn't one character that seems out of place. I think American families can learn something from this movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who isn't afraid of what is really going on in this world.
