GIVE THE DOG AN OSCAR

Jack Nicholson is hilarious! I think "As good as it gets" is the best "Drama" I know.

After tons of CGI action blockbuster you really appreciate a movie like this.

A real story, real actors and real acting. Worth every minute.

It's a bit of a pity how much of this film is marred and stuck in making a gay character revel in trauma. It's a bit of a pity how his arc is literally only here to support and change a straight asshole. It's a bit of a pity how this film is completely wrapped up in a really confusing and inaccurate portrait of OCD that is just magically cured by love. It's a pity because on a moment to moment experience, _As Good As It Gets_ can be pretty charming. But I was never really able to just get into this movie. For ever time I felt myself starting to vibe with the flow of it, I was pulled out by something. It's just kind of weird how this operates too because it almost seems self-aware about the creepiness of the whole central romance, but conveniently wants you to forget it by the end of the movie. Listen, I love Jack Nicholson as much as the next guy but the romance of this film is between a financially insecure waitress and a sugar daddy.

this movie is medicine for the heart. a romantic comedy with lots of drama and no cheesiness. just authentic people (if one can say about characters in a movie) grounded in reality, with problems, needs, desires, struggles and hopes. Helen Hunt is amazing in this role of balancing a strong, wise cracking, hard working mom with a vulnerable, unseen woman who sacrifices everything for the care of her sick son. Jack Nickolson as a weird, obessive misanthroph, who hates life and people is a treat to watch. But what makes this movie truly awesome is that the plot touches on true love, friendship and discovering the importance of that without ever falling into cringy hollywood cliches. a must watch if you love great acting, witty dialogues and moments of everyday life poetry. a true cinema gem.

They don’t make movies about lovable racist, homophobic OCD old men trying to fall in love anymore and the world is worse off for it

unstructured waste of 2 hours watching an asshole buy his way into peoples lives.

Level "Interesting" • 7 :heart: • Entertaining and Good.

So many great lines. It's like the writer thought of these lines and then decides to write a story behind those. I think scenario is a little bit weak comparing to lines and acting.

A comedy for the heart that goes for the throat! This will [hopefully] always be my favorite movie of all time. The amazing blend of comedy, drama, & SASS makes this movie one for the ages. It has pretty much every personality that you should have in your life so it should be enjoyable to watch with friends & family. If you haven't seen it you should. There is definitely a reason why Jack Nicholson & Helen Hunt beat the actors from Titanic for Best Actor/Best Actress that Oscar season. Check it out!

Emotional , stressful and a relieving movie
wow
I run out of words when I think about a way to describe it

My favourite scenes were probably with Kinnear, esp. him with Hunt! Definitely one of the stranger "romcoms" I've seen - if you can even classify it as one. While the film's honesty is refreshing (none of that fairytale romance crap) paired with slow pacing, genuine characters, and a realistic ending - I find myself missing the cheese and 'idealistic, romantic' stuff, I can't quite be satisfied knowing this is 'as good as it gets?'

"You make me wanna be a better man."

A biting and fresh romantic comedy, between an old curmudgeon and a witty waitress. It's a little overlong and scatterbrained and plays a bit like a sitcom, but that doesn't stop it from being fun as hell, with a super engaging cast.
