this film it's one of lot of good films I've never seen.
This relate the real life of a might society family, all the pain and things that a person can avoid into himself for live cool.
Every actors and actress works very good and their rules are so cool.
I dunno why people can talk only about titties and saddos... it's only they haven't understand that film and never understand it 'cuz they're only fucked kidz who never has been talked 'bout how fucked and cruel life can be.
nothing less to tell 'bout that.

All of these guys talking about tits show that people did not understand the film. I didn't neither until I saw it a few times more. A must.

I don't get it. You wanna see Thora Birch's tits, just rent the fucking movie. If you wanna see Mena Suvari's tits, that's a little tougher. You're going to have to buy her dinner or something first.

Where can I find a pic of Thora Birch tits? I've search everywhere for a pic of them. I heard on Celebrity Nude Database that her tits are suge huge and round. Thora is so hot, and I would love to see a pic of them. Mena Suvari tit pic also, if possible.

Great movie.
Afterward I went to work
and used the computer to
find an internet photo
of Thora Birch's tits
and guess what I did next.
Yes, life is good. You movie
geeks just take it too
seriously.
Oh yeah, the rest of the movie
was good, too.

This is the most important film of the 90's bar none. Important in that it is so indicative of family dysfunction IN the 90's (much like "Ice Storm" was to the 70's). This movie works on so many different levels that seeing it more than once is almost neccesary.
As the film asks, "Look Closer".

I think this movie is overrated, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
OK, it was one of the absorbing movies I've seen in a while (though that's not saying much). There were many admirable performances, and some good dry wit (though the audience I saw it with laughed like they were at Porky's).
But ok - what the hell was is it trying to say? It seemed torn between trying to reveal the blandness of ordinary life (oooh! what a revelation!) , and the beauty of the ordinary (his little ephiphany before he dies, the plastic bag blowing in the wind). Which is it?
I don't think the filmakers quite knew what they were saying.
And the homosexual neighbor - what was that about? The latent homosexual is a total stereotype, and tied loose ends up much too conveniently.

Ah, yes, good comparison to The Ice Storm . . . another picture with a lot to enjoy, and fantastic performances, that never really feels like a satisfying whole.
As for As Good as It Gets, though--I really wanted to like that picture, but I couldn't. I probably admired some of the same things you admired, but ultimately for me it was a movie about a woman entering into a doomed relationship with a severely mentally ill man. Too Benny and Joon or Reality Bites for me to consider it a happy ending.
But that has nothing to do with American Beauty, so I won't press the issue.

KDD & Dr. No,
I gotta agree with both of you guys. The ending is terribly sappy. The movie's kinda boring when Spacey's not in it. I do think the kids did a good job--although nobody's really that dynamic.
This movie is very similar to the "Ice Storm" yet it felt like it could have been "As Good As It Gets"--a really moving character study. But, like "Ice Storm," it's quite entertaining, with very unique performance(s), but doesn't really rate as a cohesive film.

I concurr with this review. But I'll go one step further: Spacey's character was the only interesting one in the whole film. Any scene without him in it falls horribly flat. Especially Annette Benning's romance with Peter Gallagher, which reminded me far to much of the Mr Plow bit on the Simpsons. And when the hell did Annette Benning become Hillary Rodham Clinton's double?
Frankly, all the kid characters, with the possible exception of Jane, were not at all believeable to me. Certainly not Ricky, played by this new actor who seems to have learned everything from Joaquin Phoenix and Eddie Vedder (standing still, that is.)
The ending, I agree, was a joke, and the very very ending was so pompous I nearly wretched.
And, and here's the kicker, I never once found that flat-cheasted blonde slut the least bit attractive. I found Jane, the dour brunette with the big tits, to be much more worthy of my leering lust than the dippy little blonde.
Overall, though, Spacey is King. Every line he delivers is quotable, and just a little bit funny. Cold anyone else have played this role? Bruce Willis just tried to in Breakfast of Champions and it was a complete disaster , and not just because the script was a loser.
So I recommend Americna Beauty to all my friends, but mostly just for Spacey. I may see it again myself, just to hear him say, "I rule!"
