Come on cut the sarcasm

Rating: 2/10 (25 July 2012)

I liked this movie the first time I saw it because of Nicholson's performance. But the more and more I see it the less I think of it. Helen Hunt's character really is a flawed human being... she represents all the ideals of modern women, bossy, irresponsible and opinionated. Why she got an Oscar for this I know not. The movie certainly is not "as good as it gets". It actually is a drag. None of the characters have significant redeeming qualities other than Nicholson whose brutal honesty often gets him in trouble with the weak socially corrupt characters he is surrounded with. Really, if taken as a satire on American society it has some value as the citified corrupt characters who live in a world of lies, irresponsibility, and deceit soon find out... Kudus to the building manager.
