American Icky

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2002)

Every decade seems to have its movie about angst in the suburbs. Ho hum. This is an oscar-worthy idea? Why would anyone make a movie about unsavory, unsympathetic, (not to mention unrealistic) characters who ultimately get what they deserve? What's more, why would anybody pay to see such a movie? I wish I hadn't. I felt like I needed a shower afterward to get this "film" off me.
The fact that this movie won "Best Picture" is a sad comment on the state of our popular culture. "The Insider", a far superior film, was robbed!!
