Jackie Simpson is the same as Bart Simpson!

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2006)

Jack Nicholson took home his third Oscar for "As Good as It Gets", playing grouchy Melvin Udall, who becomes friends - if a little unwillingly - with single mom Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) and gay artist Simon Bishop (Greg Kinnear). With Nicholson in the role, it's pretty much guaranteed that the whole thing's gonna be neat. Especially that line about how to write women really well. I can't believe that "Titanic" defeated this for Best Picture (actually, my favorite 1997 movie was "In & Out"). But, at least Nicholson and Hunt won Oscars...there was a reason that Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't nominated for an Oscar for "Titanic". All in all, "AGAIG" is a comedy classic.
