As Good As It Gets

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2000)

Everyone comments on how well Jim Carrey performs in the movie, but they are right on. I never liked any of his slapstick comedies, except his sketches on In Living Color, but I wanted to see this film because it seemed to be similar to the themes in 1984, by George Orwell. It does have that Orwellian style but it does do one thing that 1984 didn't...left the audience with hope. I would proclaim this to be a great American film that ranks up there with The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, and Citizen Kane. 10/10, 5 stars, A +. Jim Carrey Was Robbed.
