However, I still think that Thora Birch's character is sympathetic because she hates both her parents and just wants to get away from them.

2024-01-08 03:28:30 +0000 UTCme too! (asterios) — i even bought the screenplay. but it does NOT hold up. it kinda reminds me about how we all went nuts for the movie “traffic” & that won best picture. now we’re all like…what the fuck was “traffic?”

2024-01-08 03:02:10 +0000 UTCI was about 18 when American beauty came out and liked it but I was 18 so I guess that's normal. It's definitely a product of its time. The homophobic gay person was a bit of a novelty back then, at least in mainstream cinema. But yeah, the movie is definitely no Office Space.

2024-01-07 13:08:48 +0000 UTCTwo filmbro movies that are ridiculous/fun would be Total Recall and The Bad Batch. But if all you want is to be made miserable for 2-3 hours, try on Synecdoche, NY or A Serious Man for size. Your funeral.
