Jack Nicholson plays an oscar worthy performance as Melvin Udall. On his 2nd time playing an author, this performance is just as memerable as The Shining, except with more laughs. Helen Hunt, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Greg Kinear give some of... Full review

This is one of those outstanding comedies where you are laughing in spite of the off-color humor of Oscar winner Jack Nicholson's extremely prejudiced remarks. It seems that every overlooks this about him, and I think that is very wrong. He,... Full review

His face tells the story eloquently.
The script is spare and neat, as is the direction by Children of Men's Marc Abraham.
Interestingly, he had the script on his bedside table for months but thought the subject matter didn't even warrant a read.

Seamlessly directed by Brooks, and beautifully shot, As Good As It Gets, sparkles with wit and humanity, without resorting to typical cliches.
Cuba Gooding Jnr is also wonderfully effective as Simons art dealer.

'As Good as It Gets' is all about Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson, both won deserved Oscars in this charming bittersweet romantic comedy.
She and Nicholson have exceptional chemistry; their dialogue is smart and painfully sincere, sharp and disarmingly ferocious at times.
