This is as good as they get!

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2002)

AS GOOD AS IT GETS
STARRING: Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding Jr.
There are THREE things i look for in a film in order to be good. 1. Entertainment Value, 2. Memorable Characters, and 3. A Good Story. "As good as it gets," has it all.
The Characters are a main part in the film, because they are legendary. Jack Nicholson plays Melvin Udall, a man with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (what i have), and he isn't the type of person you'd want to wake up with by your side. Simon (Greg Kinnear), the gay neighbor, is the type of person you would want to be friends with, or a person I would want to be with (Because i am a girl). Then there is Helen Hunt, who plays Carol the waitress, and Mr. Udall happens to be in love with her, but she has more things on her mind (like her sick son). Everything works out fine in the end, though.
The story itself is one of the main reasons why this movie succeeded. Also, great performances by ALL cast members, especially Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. I think this film has a little bit Comedy, and little bit Romance, with a slight touch of Drama, and one hell of a cast to make this film complete.
AS GOOD AS IT GETS has everything, and that is why it was one of the best film of the 90s, and was even better than Titanic
My Rating: ***** stars out of *****
