Jack Nicholson at his best.

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2003)

Warning: potential spoilers ahead.
I don't like most hollywood movies. Especially hollywood romantic comedies. Urgh.
But anything with Jack Nicholson is a masterpiece, since I want to have sex with him. No, but really, this film is unusually meaningful for Hollywood. And oh that adorable dog should have been nominated for an oscar.

Charming performances all round. Greg Kinnear is well suited for a gay role, (no offense). Helen Hunt is quite good as well. And Jack, with his enormous scruffy eyebrows, and chillingly charming smile (that only makes sense to me, don't worry about it), is at his best here.
Anyway, I can personally relate to this movie, which is why I enjoyed it so much. I am an asshole. Very much like Melvin (Jack Nicholson) is here. I also meet people (not a certain one just yet) that make me want to become a better person. I haven't made much of an effort as of yet, but I know what I want to do. Yes, I'm a very confused human being, much like that last sentence.
As Good as It Gets is probably just that, in terms of Hollywood romantic comedies. I don't think I should even call it that. Because it isn't sappy, it isn't a chick flick, and it's one of my favourite movies of all time.
