as good as it gets... well, almost

Rating: 5/10 (9 November 2005)

'As Good As It Gets' is a romantic comedy film about the circumstances that bring together three unlikely people: a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder, a mother, and a homosexual. Each of the characters have their flaws, and they learn to work together and work out their criticisms. That is the basic summary of the film, although that does not do it any justice because a lot of what there is to enjoy about this film is in the comedy and the characters. This is a funny film, but it is also emotional and touching. Comedy and good characters make this film and they save it from being total rubbish. Good, but it's not great. It's almost as good as it gets.
