Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

rai-15799 By far the best in history of cinema, and I am a big movie goer, watched hundreds of them, I can say that loudly. May be because I can relate it straight easily to reality.Everything was best, acting , direction, story telling(too good) and all other things.The opening scene grab me with curiosity and could not look away after that till the end, wanna have look at every frame, listen to every dialog and analyze every situation. Just astonishing.

dantelerner First, I didn't want to see it 'cause it was too long and it didn't looked the way it was but then I saw it and it was amazing

cosovicbak "As Good as It Gets" is a movie that stuck on my watchlist for months. Somehow, I always found an excuse not to watch it. When I finally did, I was a bit surprised, both negatively and positively. Story is lovely. We have characters we can (mostly) sympathize with. Acting is (mostly) on very high level(especially Jack Nicholson), but... Who the hell put Helen Hunt in this movie? For God's sake, this woman is a bad (mediocre at best) actress. And honestly, I don't know why, between actresses like Kate Winslet and Judi Dench, she won the Best Actress. Goddamn enough for me to give this movie lower rating.

cmcastl What this film has and which no Marvel comic blockbuster has is 'emotional intelligence'. In this case, basically, the film is emotionally literate. It is dealing with the raw emotions of real people.Speaking as a guy, I don't like that Jack Nicholson's character Melvin, for all his flaws, ends up so much in debit to Helen Hunt's character Carol and her hard edges. Guys aren't always in the wrong and it is usually the case that the gals like to put us permanently on the defensive. I don't like that in real life and I don't like that in film. Helen Hunt's character Carol has an ailing son for whom to care and she is a fierce mother, there is nothing wrong with that, but Helen Hunt's Carol is the kind of woman from whom perhaps someone like Melvin should actually have stayed away. She has some very hard edges to her, for whatever reason, that could cut a guy every which way, although, to be fair to her, you sense that in her fierceness she can show a fierce loyalty, too. Speaking as a guy, however, I am not sure it is a happy ending for OCD but otherwise sensitive Melvin to end up with her. But I say again that what I like about the film is its emotional intelligence. It is about the ordinary human emotions, the emotions which make us human, or lacking which make us not so human. So many films today are emotionally illiterate for young males in America, Europe or Asia or wherever, who are emotionally illiterate but want something sexy in the picture and in which people get killed and things get blown up every ten minutes or so. For the Hollywood accountants, this is what puts bottoms on seats, brings in the dough.I am not sure that 'As good as it gets' could be made today for where is he Jack Nicholson or the Helen Hunt with the subtlety to make it.The film has one of my all-time favourite scenes. Melvin has been to see his psychiatrist but he is still not happy afterwards, about his life or life in general. So he appeals to the people in the waiting room: "Is this as good as it gets?" Is this not the question that any intelligent person must have asked themselves at some point? Repeatedly.
