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

'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. ... Full Review
