American Beauty is a 'beauty'

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2003)

Wow! This was such an excellent movie...not my favorite but one of the best. It was so powerful and had a great story to it. To this day this must be Kevin Spacey's best performance and deserved that oscar. Annette Benning was ok, but this movie is based on Spacey's performance. Thora Birch also gave a powerful performance. Mena Suvari was good, but not worth a nod at the Oscars. I think Thora Brich should have gotten a nod for this. Definatly worth seeing 8-8.5\10 Cast: Kevin Spacey, Annete Benning, Thora Birch, Mena Suvari, Chris Cooper and Wes Bently.
Rated R(in my own words not MPAA) A few scenes involving strong sex, nudity, drugs and some breif violence.
