AGAIG - giving mediocrity a bad name

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 1999)

Just had the misfortune of seeing "As good as it gets" on video. I am surely glad that I didn't waste $10 to see it at the movies. Jack Nicholson plays, well, Jack Nicholson (ho hum) and Helen Hunt plays the same boring role as her TV persona. When will the voting members of the Academy acknowledge the fact that familiar faces do not equal Oscar material.
