Blech. How could these two win Academy Awards?

Rating: 4/10 (30 October 1999)

As Good as it Gets was the second most overrated film of 1997. (Guess which one was first, you ship-lovers?) I was not amused in the least with Nicholson's obsessive-compulsive schtick nor with Hunt's neurotic waitress. I wish the Academy would recognize actresses who actually work long and hard to perfect the nuances of their characters' personalities, instead of those who can only play one cracked-up role.
I didn't laugh once throughout this entire movie. What was so funny? That this sad man had to wash his hands 100 times? No, not really. That silly little dog? Nope. The only bright spot in this movie was Greg Kinnear's gay artist. That's it!
Don't believe the hype. This movie is nothing special and it wastes Jack Nicholson and Greg Kinnear. As for Helen Hunt, she needs to stick to television. No one should have to pay good money to see her whine.
