Review of As Good as It Gets (1997) by Sunny L — 11 Jan 2015
This is one of the most frustrating and distressing movies I have ever seen. The characters made me uncomfortable because Jack Nicholson has overbearing control issues and was such a manipulator. I don't find those people personally endearing at all. Though the script is hilarious at times. But I had a problem with relating to, "She is so lucky. Wish I had a selfish, irrasable old coot to reign in. I wish he would love me too.".
I found Helen Hunt's character great in itself. She was brilliant in her role. But why in the world would a woman with a self observing ego and great personality want someone as horrible as Jack? That did not fly with me. By the way. Jack? Great as always.
