1001 movies – American Beauty (1999)

Oh boooy did I love this one. It has the typical quality that movies in late 90ties used to have that you just find in newer bullshit movies.

Movie is about Lester Burnham (the guy that played Keyser Soze in Usual Suspects) who is the father of a family living the American dream I guess. They do not lack any items and are supposed to be happy but they are not – so the main morale is that some moolaz aren’t everything.

So anyway, the wife is crazy and the daughter is a bitch our hero Lester falls in love with his daughters hotass friend. So he kinda dedicates his time to become fit n shit to maybe just maybe get laid with her. -Because he is having a midlife crisis I guess.

At the meantime the new neighbors are equally messed up. We got the creepy friggin boy who likes to film everfriggin thing and smokes more pot than Norway smokes salmon, we got his equally messed up mom who never really says anything because she is traumatized by her even more messed up military, gay hating husband (there is a twist related to him, guess what).

Actually there is a lot of twists in the movie and it is beautifully directed and acting owns. We love it.

I give it 5 hot chicks in a rose filled bathtub out of 5!
