    Kevin Spacey is the best thing for this movie. But this movie not to deserve a good many Oscar. (Kevin Spacey is abroad)

    Alan Ball is a Genius. Kevin Spacey is an acting God. One of the wisest, funniest and most heartbreaking films ever made. Infinitely quotable. Don't you wish you could be half as honest as Lester? Of course you do.

    Perfectly written, filmed and executed. This movie was as beautiful as the life it captured. Kevin Spacey deserves to be knighted for his role here, too.

    The cast is superb, which explains their excellent acting. You don't need super special FX to make a great movie as long as you have a great script, a talented director and an amazing cast.

    No doubtedly one of the best modern movies, and my absolute favourite so far. American Beauty casts light on various aspects and is very daring, which I applaud. It was magical the first time I watched it. Nothing but praise for this movie from me!

    "I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Ang ganda! ^*^

    This was an amazing movie and is definitely one that everyone should see. It is quite easily my favourite movie of all time at the moment. The psychological traits of the charachters are brilliant and you almost "think along" witht he charachters as the plot unfolds and at times feel their emotion...
