As Long As It Gets

Rating: 5/10 (22 August 2011)

Good things about this movie: the characters are well developed, I couldn't find a single inconsistency in their actions and reactions. The story and plot are quite original, showing a natural daily that happen in everyone's life. Some performances are good, but I disagree with those who say these performances are extraordinary. I think they are just average or a little above.
Bad things: Jack Nicholson's character is too annoying in my opinion. He speaks too slow and distributes gratuitous rudeness words to everyone around. I know the movie is supposed to show the routine of these three or four main characters, but it gets boring once nothing much really happens. The plot is so weak that we feel it's never gonna reach a climax, so I could turn it off and never see the ending-- and not even caring about it. Also, they didn't need to film 139 minutes of footage, there are many unnecessary scenes that wouldn't compromise the movie's story or quality.
I don't have anything to say about directing. It's normal, not good and not bad. All in all, don't even bother watching this, only if you are really curious like I was.
