It couldn't have been any worse. June 13, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
If this is as good as it gets, we're all in trouble. The only part I liked was the end credits. Jacky is his usual obnoxious annoying self. Helen Hunt is her nasally annoying usual self. Greg plays the oh so painfully stereotypical gay character with HIV. Nicolson is the typical alpha male homophobe and Hunt is the only somewhat nice person in the movie. I literally had to force myself to watch this movie from start to finish. I'm so glad I didn't pay to see it in the theater, and I still can't believe this won any awards. Boring, generic dialogue. I'm sorry but other than "The Shining" Nicolson just annoys the living %$^% out of me. Another Hollyweird effort to prove to all of us how enlightened they are and how stupid we are. A major yawn from start to finish. Boring directing, dreadful script, unmemorable acting. I'm sure this movie has fans, but really considering how many awards this movie won, how many people actually remember it? I do, but not for the right reasons. I'd put this movie in my top twenty of all time worst movies any day. Note to Hollyweird, stop making movies about gay people if all you do is either depict us as dysfunctional (Brokeback Mountain) Psychotic (Basic Instinct) or to be laughed at (In & Out). How about one positive movie about gay people instead of the usual mind numbing stupidity we've come to expect. As Good As It Gets??? If it had been any worse it would have been straight to video. AVOID!!!!!!!!!
"Just Two People Who Like Warm Rolls" ~ A Love Story For The Obsessive-Compulsive June 1, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The '97 release 'As Good As It Gets' is an immensely entertaining and touching comedy romance with the rare ability to make you cry and laugh simultaneously. The storyline will hold your attention from beginning to end, the dialoque is crisp and original with a mulitude of memorable lines and Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear all deliver superb performances. Simply a marvelous film you will enjoy more and more with each repeat viewing!
An essential purchase for your permanent DVD library.

This is supposed to be a tear jerker but the politically incorrect lines are the real highlights.
