I hear a 40 year old does a 15 year old? is that how it
went? i think so...some obsessive old guy. who likes to
put roses on teens. its disgusting.

It's the only truly good movie to come out of Hollywood in
the last 5 years.

A fascinating look at a mid-life crisis in today's dog eat
dog world. (And yeah the protagonist becomes obsessed with
his daughter's best friend.)

Fan fucking tastic movie.

Well Amonbrune if this is the case I'll not bother I've seen
Lolita (Original one) and once was enough.

I can't believe I missed Episode II, Maybe my local UCI is
still running it.

It is excellent and it's not just about fantasy relationship
between Kevin Spacey and Mena Suvari

well..i think that the movie is simply great...it touches in
a satiric way everything what the american society is!
it's worth spending the time wtching it!

another great movie i saw these days was mullholand
drive...very mystic and complex movie,it plays in a strange
way with your mind and feelings,it is actually a definition
of what cinematography should be.

He doesnt "do" a 15yr old....he looks at her tits and shit
like that but they dont "do" anything....its a good
movie-but the only good story is the main chick( her big big
tits) and the guy (hes hot)

The movie was good the first 2 times seeing it-other then
that, ehhh

American Beauty is wonderful

** WARNING: SPOILERS TO THOSE WHO HAVENT SEEN IT ***

I found the meaning (apart from the whole "my life is crap
I'll do something about it" thing) to kind of having a
pretty big "gay rights" feeling, I mean, like the end. And
Alan Ball (the guy that wrote it is gay) Hmmm...

***END OF POSSIBLE SPOILER**

Very good film, infact it has a few meanings really I guess.
I don't know, thats just my take on it :)
