Quality uplifting film

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2000)

'As Good As It Gets' is one of the most uplifting films I've seen in ages. It may not seem like it to start but if you watch the film through, then I can almost guarantee that you will be feeling better than you were when you started.
Jack Nicholson is astounding as Melvin, the obnoxious and superstitious author whose change in character as he falls in love with the equally wonderful Helen Hunt is developed very well in the writing.

On a less positive note, Melvin's homophobic attitude, especially at the beginning of the film may prove offensive to some audiences (i.e. my sister refuses to watch the film she found it so offensive). So before you watch it, I do suggest you take a lot of the things he says with a pinch of salt and try and stomach it.
A very good film overall, definitely recommended
8/10
