Review: The guy who gave this movie only 1 star is suffering from some terrible conditions, and I can't write any more without giving in to obscene profanity that may include vulgar and offensive morals.

Summary: Ugh!
Review: People love this movie? I usually can understand why a movie has fans, even if I do not particularly care for the movie, but this movie was horrible. Helen Hunt cannot act her way out of a wet paperbag-the worse Oscar win in history. Kinnear over-acted badly, Nicholson was in his own movie, and I'm sorry I wasted my time watching this garbage!

Summary: Jack gets the girl again
Review: The movie is an excellent study for anyone who has studied Mazlov's hierarachy of needs. Both of the main characters (Nickolson and Hunt)are hurting, way out on the charts. Hunt has not succeeded learning economic skills and lives at the edge of poverty with a critically ill son. Nickolson while successfully financially, is forfeit of any humanity skills. Both characterrs change during the movie, and each characters blatant lack can be filled in by the other. Many thought the age too different and Nickolson's character too weird. I disagree. I believe some viewers saw Helen Hunt, not a destitute waitress. Would a destitute waitress with a sick child be interested in a relationship with a prominent author with noticable character flaws. You bet. Both Nicholson and Hunt did a wonderful job in this film. Greg Kinnear's portrayal of the gay character together with Hunt's provided a perfect contrast with the Nicholson character.

Summary: "As Good As It Gets"
Review: Every award availble should have went to this movie. Never have I been more entertained. Definitely a worthy investment for anyones video collection. Helen Hunt has always been a favorite of mine and the reason I first watched this but afterwards I must admit I now see why Jack Nicholson is the oscar winner that he is, and as for Greg Kinnear I was very impressed with his ability to pull off the seriounus that he needed to for his gay-neigbor role to Nichlson. Up till know I had only seen him on Talk Soup. All in all I was impressed by every charchater.

Summary: Bought it so I could just keep on laughing !!!!
Review: The script, the actors, even the dog were great! This is one of my favorite movies. I tried to see what the one negative review was seeing, but I couldn't do it. This was great and Jack N. was either born to do it or it was made for him. Directors, Producers: More movies like this, please!

Summary: Oscar deserving performances by all!
Review: When I first saw this film it was in a local theater. I very rarely go to the theaters any more but I did for this one.The beginning came off as a bit offensive but I sat and gave it a chance and I'm glad I did. The characterizations by all lead actors was fantastic! The casting was excellent. The script very believable. Greg Kinnear should have received an Oscar for the role he brought to life as should have Cuba Gooding. Script co-writers Mark L. Andrus and James L. Brooks should also have received Oscars. Included on this DVD is the option to have the commentary of James L. Brooks, Nicholson, Hunt and Kinnear over the film as it plays. Makes for interesting conversation about the making of the film. This film is a must for your collection! Oscar deserving performances by all!

Summary: Nicholson couldn't get better if he tried.
Review: "As Good As It Gets" really is. Jack Nicholson was born for this role and the rest of the cast is stellar. Not a mediocre performance anywhere. The content of the plot, although somewhat touchy to some, was reliably riveting and hilariously funny for what could have turned out to be a disastrous situation. The gratuitous slams of the HMO system could have been left out, but I guess Hollywood needs to make its political statements now and then. All things considered, this film was a roller-coaster of emotions ranging the gamut from side-splitting laughter to snuffling teariness. It was among the best I've seen of its kind.

Summary: Avoid, Avoid.
Review: This movie is As Bad as it Gets. It is chock full of stock characters in predictable predicaments. I did not laugh once. The only character with any charm at all was the gay neighbor, who was savagely attacked by intruders, and then after his return from the hospital, verbally brutalized by his neighbor and rejected by his parents. If his story is comedy, who needs tragedy? The premise of the movie was that the brittle, tactless writer (Jack Nicholson) was really a good guy "underneath it all." Unfortunately for the viewer, he was more cruel than cranky. After all, the only evidence that he was nicer than he seemed (never mind the oxymoron) was that he gave the waitress some money so that her ailing son could finally get house calls from earnest doctors after years of neglect by uncaring doctors and greedy HMOs. He, of course, was rich and did not miss the money anyway. Sound absurd? It was. As for the love interest, this movie follows the classic formula of constant friction between the lover and the object of love which culminates in the realization that they don't hate eachother after all. The constant bickering is intended to create suspense. In this case, though, by the thirtieth time they come together and then are torn asunder by Jack Nicholson's insults, who cares? And why should the viewer root for them anyway? I personally am sick to tears of being asked to sympathize with the mean, old rich man who is trying to catch the beautiful sweet girl less than half his age. Despite mighty attempts at clever repartee, the dialogue was tinny and shallow. At times, it caught my attention only because I could not believe it was for real. When Helen Hunt lost her temper at her future love interest (Jack -- at the time he was her restaurant patron) ("Don't you ever speak of my son that way!!") the glare in her eyes was so studied, it looked like she was play acting.
