The plot revolves around Richard Bean (Kline), a Broadway star known for his egotism, who experiences a public breakdown and retreats to his hometown. After returning to the family-run theater where he first discovered his talent, he finds his father, the former artistic director, suffering from dementia. The theater, now reduced to a dinner theater serving murder mysteries, is run by his brother (Tenney) and sister-in-law, who is also the town’s mayor. Determined to restore the theater’s former glory, Richard plans to stage a great American classic, with himself as director and star, in an effort to save both the theater and the town.
这欧美剧节奏太慢，剧情拖沓，看得我直打瞌睡，浪费时间！
从专业的角度来看，《美国经典》在剧情架构和人物塑造上有一定的可取之处。
导演的叙事手法独特而巧妙，成功地将观众带入了一个全新的世界。
看完之后，美国经典整体氛围做得可以，属于越往后看越顺的那种，没什么特别硬伤。
朋友推荐的《美国经典》太棒了，看完又哭了一遍。
