Over-rated Junk

Rating: 3/10 (19 November 2002)

This has got to be one of the most over-rated pieces of junk of all time. Aside from the performances, which WERE good, this depressing movie has no redeeming value. You walk away from this one wondering- what was the point?
And the title- American Beauty? Does that refer to the Spacey character threatening to blackmail his boss- or his wife's sick obsessions- or the next door neighbor military man ( Hollywood-stereotyped as the right wing nut) - or his son, who sees beauty in life while selling drugs?
This is trash, pure and simple.........
