Perhaps I'm In The Minority

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2000)

It amazes me how many people love this film. I'm not one of them. I did like the film, but I often wonder if American Beauty is somewhat overrated. There are times when this movie is right up there with genius, but then at other times, it just seems like a poetic mid-life crisis. I was, however, very impressed with the acting. Wes Bentley and Chris Cooper especially moved me.
