As Good as It Gets

Pros: A hilarious comedy with a message!

Cons: Can't think of any

The Bottom Line: If you take this picture the way it was intended, You will LOVE it! If you can't see through humor, you'll Hate it!

Review: [[[ The Beginning of the End ]]]

I'm sure you'll think I'm telling you a tall one, but I swear, to the best of my knowledge, it's the truth. And it was so opportune, too, just in time for this WRITE-OFF.
You see, I...

Pros: Very good drama that will keep you laughing throughout the movie

Cons: None

Review: Occasionally we will rent a few movies for what we call our 'Nothing but Movies' weekend. This particular weekend one of our movies included "As Good As It Gets" and it turned out to be the best movie of those we rented. Since we rented this...

Pros: Very Original Screenplay

Cons: Rated PG13 - totally inappropriate

Review: In all my movie going years, I have never seen a movie that so entertained me, so shocked me, so surprised me, and so disgusted me all at the same time. As Good As It Gets, screenplay written by Mark Andrus and James L. Brooks, was one of the most...

Pros: Nicholson is brilliant, as is the wonderfully wicked script.

Cons: Lovey-dovey finale.

The Bottom Line: Funny, moving and utterly engrossing, As Good As It Gets is, as a story, probably the most aptly-titled movie around.

Review: Hypocrisy. It’s great isn’t it? Call it what you will – pietism, casuistry, glibness, insincerity, self-righteousness - you have to love the act of "feigning to be what one is not, or to believe what one does not". An example brought to mind are fans of...

Pros: Dialogue, Quirky plot that could only happen in NYC. Kinnear, Nicholson, Gooding, Hunt, the dog

Cons: mental illness isn't really funny, gay cliches, and encouraging rudeness

The Bottom Line: This is a clever and well done comedy of manners. If you can tolerate some of the cliches, and appreciate a movie done for it's own sake, watch it

Review: I found this to be an entertaining movie, but not for the usual reasons. Life in New York City with it's common eccentricities is the draw for me, plus more than a passing familiarity with obsessive compulsive disorder. I can identify with the major...

Pros: Excellent actors & actresses, great plot, not boring at all

Cons: Not long enough

The Bottom Line: This is the type of movie that makes you think of life. It gets you thinking that life can be really good as long as you make it good.

Review: Being a movie fanatic that I am, I love to watch as many different movies as I can. To me, a movie doesn't have to be good to others to mean something to someone. Take this movie, many people loved it, and many people hated it. I for one loved it.

Pros: Story, acting - everything

Cons: Not a thing

Review: I know, this has been reviewed to death, but I just saw it again and had to laugh all over. Nicholson should get an award for just standing still! His expressions in this movie are priceless, almost makes you forget what an ass he started out to be....

Pros: Strong emotional impact, very well-written

Cons: High drama, might go over some heads

Review: It sounds like a bad joke: Obsessive-compulsive head case walks into the waiting room of a psychiatrist's office and says into the silence, addressing all:" Maybe this is as good as it gets."

And the patients all look at each other,...

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

The Bottom Line: A classic

Review: The DVD doesn't blow you away, for instance limited extra features; directors commentary, trailer and various filmographies but who cares when the film can knock you over. Jack Nicholson won an oscar for his role as Melvin Udall as did Helen Hunt for ...

Pros: Hilarious yet warm, Great acting

Cons: Lengthy

Review: I rented this movie when it came out on video. The first time I watched it I was incredibly tired from working, so I did not fully appreciate it until I watched it for the second time. In good spirits and a rested state of mind, As Good As It Gets will...
