Don't believe any of the negative comments !!

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2001)

I won't go into the plot - enough people have already done that. I'll just say this movie has the best writing, best acting, best soundtrack, best editing and by far the best cinematography I have ever seen.

After reading some of the other comments here you wouldn't expect this film to be very uplifting but in a strange way, you do feel inspired after watching it. It's the writing. That and Kevin Spacey's narration.

If you haven't seen American Beauty, treat yourself. It's an incredible viewing experience. Definitely a "ten out of ten".
