Am I the only person who liked this movie?

I feel like American Beauty is one of the most hated on Best Picture award winners, and I really liked it. I thought it had a unique plot, and really, how many movies are made about midlife crisis that aren’t just predictably crappy (Wild Hogs, anyone?). I thought their were several hilarious sequences, and “The King” was a great character. I thought the movie kind of made light of it’s own pretentions, and I liked it’s creepy overtones. Anyways, feel free to rake me over the coals below. Tonight I plan on watching the Magnificent Seven, which was on late last night so I taped it. Will let you know what I think. I watched Born Into Brothels over the weekend and thought it was really good.
