dicaprio's next project was the drama film "the beach" (2000), an adaption of alex garland's 1996 novel of the same name. he played an american backpacking tourist looking for the perfect way of life in a secret island commune in the gulf of thailand. budgeted at $ us 50 million, the film became a financial success, grossing $ us 144 million worldwide, but as with dicaprio's previous project, the film was negatively reviewed by critics. todd mccarthy of "variety" noted that "richard [dicaprio's role] is too much the american everyman and not enough of a well-defined individual to entirely capture one's interest and imagination, and dicaprio, while perfectly watchable, does not endow him with the quirks or distinguishing marks to make this man from nowhere a dimensional character." the next year, he was nominated for another razzie award for his work on the film.
