As Good As It Gets
The life of Melvin Udall, a well known novelist of fictional romance, who treats people in a rude way and has a restricted system in his life, has been changed completely, when he has to look after the dog of his gay neighbor, as he soften his heart and when the only waitress that can afford him is about to leave, the thing that leads him to love her.

It's a mark of how magically written, directed and acted As Good as It Gets is that we end up loving this film despite knowing how haphazard, scattershot and almost indefinable its charm is.
July 02, 2008
A sporadically funny romantic comedy with all the dramatic plausibility and tonal consistency of a TV variety show.

The greatest pleasures come from the acting.

Romance comedies definitely come better than this, although perhaps not lately.

The movie's too long, and the direction is sometimes slack -- but the script is crammed with withering ripostes, ably delivered by Nicholson and Hunt.
January 01, 2000
Nicholson struggles for the core of the man but never gets it; so, in most scenes, he resorts to working his face, with grimaces and sneering smiles and lip-pursings in place of acting.

Not only one of the best romantic comedies of the year, but one of the best films in ages.

It's fun to watch Jack Nicholson draw on great reservoirs of bile to play a mean SOB with an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
February 24, 2006
Both funny and sad, the comedy was in the vein of Brooks' Terms of Endearment, except it was more eccentric and nuttier and in moments genuinely touching due to strong chemistry between Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.
January 02, 2011
Funny, but not a light comedy for youngsters.
June 24, 2006
The trouble lies in the rambling narrative, Brooks' cautious direction and the cosy tone which renders the whole thing reminiscent of an extended sitcom.
