Over rated and over long

Rating: 1/10 (17 May 1999)

Or, what it should have been called ' IT DOESN'T GET VERY GOOD' How on earth did this scoop 2 Oscars?????, If Nicholson portrays a more irritatingly annoying character in the remainder of his career it would be an achievement. Helen Hunt performs amicably, but to win an academy award for it?. I went in to this film expecting to be treated to a funny, inventive, original comedy with Jack on top form and I was thoroughly disappointed to say the least. In the whole film there isn't one character who you can take to. On the other hand if you want to kill time watch it, as at 2 hours 13 this beats it to a pulp over and over again, until you will be crying for it to end its suffering.
