Good but not great

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2001)

Yeah, it was an okay movie.
It had great acting and a good script, but there wasn't the depth that the film was publicized for. It doesn't say anything that hasn't already been said before, not even when a scene like the floating plastic bag is shown. That could have been a wonderful scene if the idea had been more insightful (and not just presented as one). The scene, actually (and the whole movie) had wonderful cinematography and was beautiful in and of itself.... The only reason I was disappointed was because they marketed it as a deep and insightful movie that would offer more views on the dysfunction of suburban life, but it offered no more new ideas than those that have been around since the '60s.
See it as a "fun" film, but don't come into the movie thinking that it could be more or you'll be disappointed.
