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.
