WHAT!? Holy Mackeral Batman!

Rating: 5/10 (12 October 1999)

It is indeed a sad day for the IMDB when American Beauty can reach so high a mark in the top 250. As of this date it is #2 with a vote of 8.8. Has the world gone insane!? Granted, it's a good movie. And that's all it is, good. 7-7.5 is all it should receive. The people who voted so highly have delusions of grandeur and should regrade the movie in totality, not the acting by Mr. Spacey. American Beauty a better film than Schindler's List or Citizen Kane? I think not. I will cry myself to sleep every night until I see this travesty rectified.
