One of the 25 best pictures ever

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2004)

Excellent script, superb acting by Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson. Yes the Academy sometimes make good decisions. The Oscars for best actress and actor were well deserved. It's good comedy because the script delicately balances on both laughter and sadness. The title is well chosen and supports the story: It's what you make of your life and how & what you give to others, to make you a better person. This is as good as it gets.
Is that sentimental? If so the world has come to its end. Don't believe some nasty comments below. Enjoy the movie, enjoy two great actors. It should have been in the IMDB top25: 10/ 10.
