American Beauty is truly a don't-miss movie. It will definitely make you think. Kevin Spacey does an incredible acting job, as do Annette Bening and, basically everyone else who was in the movie. I felt that this movie was a pretty realistic portrayal of just how wacky "mainstream America" can be.. it also raises the question of whether trying to be a part of that life is even worth it. I think that everyone will find something to like about this movie. It has some very funny moments in it, but it also has a very strong message.. which, actually, I'm not sure I've completely figured out yet. It definitely made me take a look at my own life and priorities. This one's so good, I'm going to have to see it again!

Nice first opinion, but a few more details would have helped me out even further. Welcome to Ciao. Don't let the ratings system, how many reads that your opinion gets from members or any comments put you off writing your opinions!
