Boring and dispensable

Rating: 2/10 (20 January 2010)

Of the many films I've watched American Beauty is one of the less entertaining ones. A film that doesn't contain an useful action and plays without an exciting plot. American Beauty focuses on thought-provoking, which is well done, but lacks in filling the story with some entertaining-factor. After watching this movie viewers will think about there lives if they didn't fell asleep before.
Lester (Kevin Spacey), a usual faggot-father who lives in an American suburbia, experiences his boring life and starts ruining it. His wife Carolyn (Annette Bening) uses to fake the impression that her life is brilliant. She works as a real estate agent but is too foolish to sell houses. Their daughter Jane (Thora Birch), a boring teenager without self-confidence, hates herself and her life. She fell in love with Ricky (Wes Bentley), the weird neighbour next door. He films his whole life and even the oddest scenes. This odd guy needs to get to an asylum.
Lester starts freaking off, quits his job and starts working at a fast-food restaurant. Fell in love with Jane's best friend Angela (Mena Suvari) and got shot by Col. Fits (Chris Cooper), the homosexual and homophobic neighbour who lost his structure and life, so needs to kill Lester. As you can see, there are many weird psychos in this movie who ruin the content. In fact that's everything you need to know about this movie.
The only two things that are quite well done are the thought-provoking aspect which makes you think about your sense off life. And the second one is the camera work and the cinematic devices. This makes you feel with Lester and supports his miserable bad attitude.
All in all I would recommend this move to everybody who intents to commit suicide because they may get changed their mind. But every usual adult or teenager should keep away of this movie. Boring! My rating: 2/10
