Movie description
AMERICAN BEAUTY tells the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), a suburban father who snaps when he becomes disgusted with his stale, repetitive existence. Burnham lets us know in voice-over from the film's opening that this is the day he dies (using the SUNSET BOULEVARD flashback approach), a technique that adds an inevitable tension to the proceedings and keeps the story moving forward at all times. On a whim, Lester quits his job and begins a regression into young adulthood, lifting weights, smoking pot, doing nothing, and discovering the overflowing sexuality of his 16-year-old daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari). His wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening), has her own midlife crisis of sorts. A real estate agent, she experiences a youthful awakening when super-agent Buddy Kane (Peter Gallagher) seduces her repeatedly. Meanwhile, Jane (Thora Birch), the Burnhams' daughter, is pursued by Ricky (Wes Bentley), the mysterious boy next door who carries a video camera around with him at all times. When Ricky's militaristic father, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper), discovers something potentially horrifying on one of his tapes, and when Carolyn's rage for Lester's actions boils over, the time bomb finally explodes.

Editorial reviews
"...Consistently provocative and devilishly amusing....AMERICAN BEAUTY is a real American original..."
Variety - p.40-50 - Todd McCarthy (09/13/1999)

"...Sees beauty in our most common mistakes and failures. This is a masterpiece..." -- 5 out of 5 stars
Premiere - p.99 - Christopher Kelly (06/01/2000)

Ranked #1 in Rolling Stone's "Ten Best Movies of 1999" -- "...[A] justly celebrated look at what gets lost in life when we numb ourselves to feeling..."
Rolling Stone - p.63-4 - Peter Travers (01/20/2000)

"...AMERICAN BEAUTY is that rare instance where all the elements of a movie -- story, setting, acting, shot construction -- come together to convey its message..."
Box Office - p.166 - Annlee Ellingson (11/01/1999)

"...Spacey gives sardonic snap to every line he delivers....The movie is a beaut. It's as feeling as it is funny, a quality recent movies seemed to have lost..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (09/15/1999)

"...Unsettling, unnerving, undefinable....BEAUTY is a blood-chilling dark comedy with unexpected moments of both fury and warmth, a strange, brooding and very accomplished film that sets us back on our heels from its opening frames..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (09/15/1999)

"...Spacey, an actor who embodies intelligence in his eyes and voice, is the right choice for Lester Burnham..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (09/24/1999)
