American beauty sucked!!! It's a movie that you either loved or hated period!!and I can say that I'm 39.
Hella, shrek was a fu#$%king riot(mike myers and eddie murphy are great. Shallow Hal was overated, the funniest parts were the ones they showed you in the previews.
Americam Beauty and Boys Don't Cry( Hillary Swank is a freaking Mutt)shouldn't have been notimated, nevermind win any award. I liked the Green Mile and really liked the Hurricane that year.
If your looking for a feel good family movie then rent Simon Birch, it was very good!!
P.S. And then there's Austin Powers, Yeah Baby
