Despite seemingly being given pretty much free rein to ham things up mercilessly, he [Jack Nicholson] shines without ever becoming too much.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2023

A charming romantic comedy that will make you laugh and feel good. Excellent performances all around.

| Original Score: A- | Jan 19, 2023

James L. Brooks’ screenplay is fantastic, we are in their lives, it feels as if we are PART of their lives and watching it from right up close.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 7, 2023

As Good As It Gets features a masterclass in writing, directing, and acting while reminding us that people can grow and evolve in their lives.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 25, 2022

Did this really need to be 138 minutes long? Aside from that, this is a reasonably entertaining comedy that allows Jack Nicholson to amuse himself (and us) for most of the running time.

| Original Score: B | Sep 1, 2022

One cannot exaggerate how much Helen Hunt's work invests us in this film and its characters; not just Carol but everybody else with whom she comes into contact.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 15, 2021

With terrific lead performances by Jack Nicholson as a demonic novelist and Helen Hunt as a Manhattan waitress, As Good as It Gets is as good as mature adult entertainment gets on the silver screen.

This is the stuff of formula but director James L. Brooks and co-writer Mark Andrus elevate it with terrific writing.

On one hand, it's Brooks's film that most betrays his 온라인카지노추천 sitcom roots; it's also one of his more ambitious works, packing in subplots and subjects by the handful-indicative of a filmmaker who seems to genuinely struggle with the confines of the genre.

Funny, but not a light comedy for youngsters.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011

The greatest pleasures come from the acting.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 29, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 3, 2008

A sporadically funny romantic comedy with all the dramatic plausibility and tonal consistency of a 온라인카지노추천 variety show.

Full Review | Jul 2, 2008

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 30, 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.

| Jun 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.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 24, 2006

An inflated 온라인카지노추천 show by a sitcom creator.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Feb 9, 2006

The character is written as the most unlikable person one could ever meet. Despite this fact, Jack manages to make the character sympathetic.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

The unpredictable and fresh 'As Good As It Gets' is peppered with memorable Brooks lines and physical schtick.

Full Review | Original Score: A+ | May 28, 2005

Mildly likable.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 9, 2005
