good movie, but completely overrated and did it REALLY deserve Best Picture??

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2000)

I saw this movie when it first came out expecting a wonderful psychological drama. Well it was definetly one of those! But it wasn't all that great of a movie. It was very original and had top of the line acting. BUT out of ALL the movies that came out in 99 American Beauty wasn't really that Oscar-worthy. Sorry for those who disagree but it's true to me. It wasn't no Titanic or Forrest Gump or Shakespeare In Love. On a scale 1 to 10 i'd give American Beauty a.....7.5
