Anakin S Apr 18, 2019 I recommend this movie for the weekend. When you want to have fun and clear your thoughts. The cast is a stunning Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. I really enjoyed watching Jack Nicholson in the role of Melvin Udall as a successful writer - loner, his daily habits, and especially his funny behavior throughout the film. Melvin Udall is an annoying senior man who lives alone and likes, when people subordinate to his habits. You will love this person immediately with funny behavior and dialogues and his smile. In addition, you see a change when Melvin Udall changes behavior. He turns out to be sensitive, attentive, and eager to be loved. Helen Hunt as the only waitress Carol Connelly as the only one in the film can settle Melvin Udall. Enjoy this movie - it's a life story, cool, family and fun movie. See more

Rey W Feb 18, 2019 It's fun to watch Jack Nicholson draw on great reservoirs of bile to play a mean SOB with an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Harry M Sep 17, 2018 is actually as good as cinema can get.. As Good As It Gets As Good As It Gets is a character driven drama about a frustrated man suffering from OCD whose consequences are paid by the people surrounding him. The characteristics of the characters are well crafted and detail that offers more personal experience to the viewers since it goes way too deep and bisects it wisely by comparing it with others; a masterstroke by the writers to meddle with the audience subconsciously. It's parallel tracks are given equal importance with fine polishing around the edges that is decorated by the three dimensional characters that resides in this typical New York neighborhood. The background score by Zimmer is impressive, the cinematography is decent if not extraordinary but has fine editing and camera work that is breezy and light and is uplifted by music that plays vital role in order to elevate the momentum. Nicholson is in his A game where he redefines his throne and proves why he still is the best of all and on the other end, Hunt is equally challenging and replies to his all serves with a winning shot where both of them are supported nicely by Kinnear and Gooding Jr. The narration is elaborative and not stretchy with adaptive tone that unfortunately wears off in its latter stages as it loses its grip on settling for a mellow course. Brooks's execution is what fuels this familiar drama and offers a fresher perspective to it that is brimmed with tiny cathartic notions that are just pills for adrenaline rush to the audience. Ticking for more than two hours and fixating on a singular topic, it is surprisingly intriguing enough to keep us invested in it. The dry humoristic tone of each character, the morale conflicts and their answer to it and Nicholson and Hunt's stellar performances are the high points of the feature. As Good As It Gets is actually as good as cinema can get on terms of the craft it carries out from mundane events. See more

Hagrid R Aug 26, 2018 One of my all time FAVORITE movies! If you have not see it, see it! You'll be so glad you did. This movie brings laughter and painful reality bare front forward! The most you learn from this movie is how one puts expectations on their self, never realizing that the things they want to believe annoy them, are actually what opens up their life and allows love in!

Hermione G Aug 22, 2018 This was one of those years the Oscars got it right. As it says in the title...

Poe M Aug 12, 2018 I'm going to be honest. I did get bored with this movie. I was in the mood for some other kind of film last night. Even without that maybe I would have gotten bored anyway. At times it was less boring. But anyway it was still a good to great movie, especially those performances..... Helen Hunt crying... If you ever mention my son, - Helen- Melvin's reaction....
