Jack never ceases to amaze me!!

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 1998)

I watched As Good As It Gets and I am so impressed with the versatility of Jack Nicholson he was so phenomenal as Melvin Udall he was the lock for best actor playing an obsessive-compulsive romance writer. James L. Brooks delivers a real good movie here with terrific performances by Greg Kinner as the gay neighbor Simon and Shirley Knight as Carol's mother and Cuda Gooding Jr. was excellent also. Greg Kinner in my opinion was the surprise also he was wonderful and deserved his Best Supporting Actor Nomination.
Now one thing I was puzzled with was Helen Hunt she was good however her character (Carol)was almost like Jamie (her character from Mad About You) and the hand motions and it just seemed that it wasn't the stretch that would give her an Oscar for. But that is my opinion.
In closing this movie was a wonderful movie and Jack Nicholson is outstanding I can't really remember a movie he was bad in I mean he was wonderful in Mars Attacks!, Ironweed, A Few Good Men (YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!), Terms of Enderment, REDS, One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, can go on and on! Keep up the excellent work Jack!!
