One of the most over rated films of all time

Rating: 5/10 (17 January 2014)

What's so great about this film? And why have most of the cast been nominated for awards?
Is it because it has American in the title?
The costumes are decent, the wigs are good and the set is OK, but nothing special. So there's a few twists. Big deal, quite literally.
You feel nothing for any of the characters. Its slow, boring and NOT funny.
Amy Adams, I'm not a fan of hers, ever since watching the appalling Leap Year it put me off for life. In AH she struggles with her accents and puts in one of the most average performance you'll ever likely to see. Yet she's up for an Oscar, can someone please explain why?
We walked out of the cinema and had instantly forgot this film. That really speaks volumes in my book
