Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2002)

Well decide on 'As Good As It Gets', wonderful journey of an Obsessive Compulsive novelist (aren't they all?) a restaurant waitress and an artisan neighbor. The film has beautiful character development right from the start, few subtleties encountered along its story line. It takes place in New York and creeps its way through the psyche of the 3 main characters. Scored with appropriate music to keep pace with the film, its full of laughs and cry's and intellectual action if that is what you sometimes prefer. I first saw this movie on the plane, piped through the intercom unedited. It does have some cursing and bias, so perhaps not a family film. Supporting cast members do a brilliant job. The DVD includes commentary with James L Brooks, and the 3 main characters, a great addition to an Academy awarded film (1997). 9/10
