[EX Q]: james l . brooks , one of the developers of the simpsons and director of broadcast news , returns to the big screen with this entertaining , if slightly flawed comedy .
nicholson plays melvin udall , probably the most horrible person ever on the screen .
he 's racist , homophobic , and never has a good word to say to anyone .
so , nobody talks to him , except waitress carol conelly ( t .
v sitcom star hunt , who was last seen in twister , 1996 ) .
naturally , udall , conelly and gay neighbor simon bishop ( kinnear ) who nicholson hates , all hit it off in the end .
like good will hunting ( 1997 ) and titanic ( 1997 ) , even though the outcome is completely obvious , as good as it gets is an enjoyable , funny and warm comedy .
nicholson is hilarious as melvin , churning out insults with superb relish .
only nicholson could get away with the lines that melvin delivers .
hunt is also good as waitress carol , and easily rises to the challenge of nicholson .
there 's also ( thankfully ) a bit of chemistry between them .
kinnear , as the gay neighbor , seems to have a slightly underwritten role , he 's more of a plot convience than a character .
although his performance is good , his character just seems to exist to help melvin and carol come together .
in fact , the scene stealer is simon 's dog , who is funnier than nicholson .
but then again , pets are always cute on screen .
providing solid support is cuba gooding , jnr ( jerry maguire , 1996 ) and yeardly smith ( who is the voice of lisa simpsons in the simpsons ) although gooding is n't as good as is character in maguire , he is still fun .
he overacts a little , but not so much as to be annoying .
smith is also good , although she has a fairly small role .
even director lawrence kasdan ( body heat , 1981 ) makes an appearance as a doctor .
but this is primarily nicholsons film , and
every scene he 's in , he 's steals it .
he 's character is so hateful , though
, it 's amazing that anyone talks to him at all , especially carol .
and this is the films main problem .
it 's totally unbelievable that carol would ever consider liking melvin .
she does n't fall in love with him naturally , the film forces her to fall in love with him .
also , melvins character seems to go too nice , too quickly .
i would doubt anyone with a character like melvins would be able to turn back to a nice , loving person .
it would take a helluva long time , much longer than this film would like to make out .
brooks direction is good , though , if a bit average , but he usually manages to get an emotion out of the audience .
he handles the comedy scenes better than the sentimental ones ( he tends to pile on to much schmaltz ) but
generally he 's good .
there 's also a nice soundtrack by veteran composer hans zimmer .
but , generally , as good as it gets achieves what it sets out to do , which is to make the audience feel good by the end of the movie .
the movie is a bit overlong , but nicholson is such good fun that the running time passes by pretty quickly .
overall , as good as it gets is a fun movie , even though it may be unbelivable , and certainly worth seeing
( if just for jack nicholsons performance . ) not quite as good as it gets ( pardon the bad joke ) , but still good fun .

[EX Q]: i guess that if a very wild bachelor party had gone really bad , there would be broken furniture , traces of smack and cocaine on the floor , and a dead prostitute in the bathroom .
i guess that if a movie had also gone really bad , there might be the same elements present .
coincidence ?
poor kyle ( a meek looking jon favreau ) . . .
he is about to marry his radiant fiancee , laura ( cameron diaz ) .
but before he exchanges his vows , he embarks to las vegas with his friends for one last blowout .
but this bachelor party has gone about as bad as it could possibly get .
the prostitute has met a horrible , though accidental death , and drugs are everywhere .
the five friends agree that there is enough bad evidence here that will send them to jail for a very long time .
a surprisingly calm robert boyd ( christian slater ) , who looks like he was groomed to make nefarious decisions , ponders their dilemma for a few minutes before deciding that the best thing to do is to bury the body in the desert where she 'll never be found .
although they stomach the gruesome deed of getting rid of the body ( which also disturbingly involves dismantling the body using power saws in order to stuff it into suitcases ) , when they return from their trip , guilt and paranoia begins to set in which slowly consumes some of the five friends .
one is adam ( daniel stern ) he grows increasingly agitated .
whenever people look at his van or whenever a cop glances his way , his blood pressure increases .
or that just may be because of his dysfunctional family .
another is michael , who was actually responsible for her death .
he tries to bury his feelings , but the burden of guilt begins to affect his judgment as well .
boyd is the ?
doer ' of the group .
seemingly suffering from a long psychosis , when he feels as if his secret is about to be exposed , he is apt to take extreme measures to cover up his tracks .
kyle just hopes that his wedding will live up to laura 's demanding expectations .
then , there 's moore ( leland orser ) who speaks 5 lines and walks around with a puzzled look on his face .
the problem with this reprehensible movie is that it wants to be a cruel comedy , but it presents things in a manner that just are n't funny .
drugs , mutilation , and killing your own friends is n't something to be laughed at .
as a straight psychological drama , i could see how it might have worked , as each one tried to maneuver and overcome the weight of their own guilt in their own sometimes - sick ways .
but this movie insults us by assuming that we could simply discard our values for 2 hours .
if you do like this movie , i do n't think that i want to know you .
i did find slater a convincing leader who sways his friends to choose not the right thing
but the ? smart play . '
and diaz adds some brightness to this film as a wedding - needing fiancee .
but
her talents are essentially wasted here .
it 's obvious that the film maker is trying to strike a certain tone .
but the way that he chooses to do it is tasteless .
do not make a very bad decision by seeing this film .

[EX Q]: i wo n't even pretend that i have seen the other 3 alien films .
i saw glimpses of alien and aliens and fragments of alien 3 , but i have by no means actually sat down and watched any of them .
so take my opinion from an unbiased and impartial perspective : alien resurrection is not worth the large bag of lollies
i was munching into after a hard day 's work .
i did n't just dislike it so much because the plot was awful ; most of the acting was very average or the special effects got tiresome after 5 minutes of painful viewing , but also the fact that every tedious ingredient thrown in attempts to give this pointless dribble some meaning .
sigourney weaver , who 's role in alien earned her an academy award nomination , plays the character of " ripley , " who died fighting against extraterrestrial scum in alien 3 .
200 years later , scientists ' use a sample of blood found at the site of her death to recreate ripley - including the alien that was stuck inside her .
in no time they remove the alien from her body and separate the two ; yet ripley is now not completely human , possessing strange amounts of strength and being able to withhold greater pain than a normal being .
i 'm sure someone can explain exactly why this is so , but for now we 'll just ignore it and move on .
why , you ask , would ripley and the alien inside her be recreated ?
well , the smart little lab researchers believed that they would be able to discover many advancements in science from studying the alien creature .
these were the same people who said they could control the alien and that their was no danger in their research .
they
( yawn ) were wrong .
it does n't take a genius to figure out that the rest of the film is a continuous cat and mouse chase between the humans who die off one by one and the aliens who open their mouths on every possible occasion to show off their frightfully scary un - flossed teeth .
there 's a little saying that goes something like this :
" if you 're going to make a bad film , do it well .
"
i have seen plenty of disappointing and underachieving movies , but they are not the ones that really bother me .
alien resurrection , a good example of a film that really gets up my nose
, is not so much a discouraging experience but an off putting one .
there is no way to describe why the australian ma rating was given to this film other than unnecessary and repulsive gore , which attempts to distract us from the wandering - but - not - going - anywhere plot .
in one scene my stomach churned as i witnessed a mawkish looking alien put its hand on a characters head and literally ripped most of his face off .
another one featured ripley sticking a knife through her hand just to impress someone she was talking to .
fair enough if it were in a horror film or even if it bared any significance to the story , but this is unfortunately not the case , and this sort of bizarre gore is inexcusable . if you think i 'm struggling to find one good aspect about the film , then you thought right .
one exciting scene is a credit ( and the only part remotely worth seeing ) to the film , in which an alien chases two men ( one a cripple ) up a tall ladder with interesting results .
but of course after that thrilling scene alien resurrection had no problem in returning to its pathetically low standard , and ends up crashing into the shores of movie dullness more often than japanese kamikaze jet fighters fall off their skis .
so in a film where the one liners come as bad as " earth man , what a shit hole " and the primary means for one mans strategic attack is to bounce bullets off walls to hit an opponent , its no wonder why alien : resurrection turned out to be as off putting and clumsy as it is .
oh , and in case you 're wondering about my bag of lollies ,
the less i enjoy a film , the more i eat .
so all the lollies were gone in 15 minutes ; but however empty the bag turned out to be , it was still a long way ahead of the movie .
