American Beauty

Overrated

Blargh.

A British man's attempt to "capture" (in other words STEREOTYPE) American society - if this is what we've become - a pathetic, dreamless, goal-less "head of household" married to an equally pathetic desperate female....it's time for me to jump ship.

The only likable character is the neighbor boy (played by Wes Bentley) his character is the only artistic touch to a film that mocks the American family. All other frills as far as filmmaking are cheap tricks a student could achieve. Depressing & pointless in my opinion...you almost feel sorry for all of it's characters (for lame reasons, so why bother?)
