"Maybe a bit exagerated, but only because of the theatratical elements of it."
Bingo, caa, quite brilliant!!! It is a FARCE, with all it's attributes - a somewhat unbelievable story line, unexpected ending, satire, even the title is reminscent of grander things in American literature, like An American Tragedy by Dreiser, etc. Some folks may not like it because it reminds them of themselves, some don't like it as a film, but to dismiss it as a usual Holywood crap is a mistake.
Not the best film on the subject, yet not the worst one, that's for sure. I liked it. Casting was great.
