Synopsis:
Melvin Udall, a cranky, bigoted,
obsessive-compulsive writer, finds his life turned upside down when neighboring
gay artist Simon is hospitalized and his dog is entrusted to Melvin. In
addition, Carol, the only waitress who will tolerate him, must leave work to
care for her sick son, making it impossible for Melvin to eat breakfast.
The Freak's Rating:
A+ : There are a few films I believe everyone should see in order to be able
to know what a good film actually is. You know, the kind where when you hear
someone say they haven't seen it and you go "What!?". It is this category
that As Good As It Gets falls into and nearly symbolizes.
Whenever people talk about Jack
Nicholson's legacy, they need go no further than to simply play this movie from
start to finish. Jack has a charisma that leaps off the screen, never as
much as it does here. Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear are perfectly cast in
their roles opposite Nicholson. Kinnear's delivery, specifically, should
be studied in acting schools. He is wonderful here.
Writing and direction is perfect in
this film. Pacing is wonderful, comedy and romance are beautifully
intertwined and a cute dog is thrown in for good measure. As Good As It
Gets lives up to its title perfectly. Acting is superb, the storyline
wonderful, delivery perfect, direction solid and on and on. This is one of
my favorite films of all time.
Sebastian's Rating: A : hey i was about to put this movie up to. i've
seen this movie bout twice a year of every year of my life (as far as i can
remember)
The main thing that i love about this movie its the "relationship" between the
grumpy author and the gay neighbours dog. Jack plays his role brilliantly. When
he goes to the resturaunt for his breakfeast with his plastic knives and forks,
you get a grin at how grumpy this man is. Once the story comes to play, it seems
like jack's personality changes a whole lot more, but still seems to be grumpy
inside... not till the end.
I'm not going to explain much more about this movie but it just proves that when
your a little but nice... the world can be a better place.
Angie's Rating: A+ : My favorite romantic comedy... yes, I've watched it
too many times to count... and too many quotable quotes to quote. :) haha!
Definitely a must see and to quote the movie, "good times and noodle salad" ;)
