A modern AMERICAN classic, which well deserved the 1999 Best Picture award.

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2000)

If you've seen AMERICAN BEAUTY, DreamWorks' Oscar-winning film starring Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening, then you know it is a great, modern American classic. Kevin Spacey portrays a middle-aged man, currently going through mid-life crisis, who is now deceased and telling his story. In his story, taking place in present-day suburban America (no location given), he goes through many obstacles with his family and friends. He has a crush on his daughter's best friend, his wife is cheating on him, and he even takes up smoking pot. A not-so-family-film that, unlike most, ends with an unhappy ending. Everyone who's anyone will love it. I hope you enjoy it, I certainly did.
