"As Good As it Gets" is a great film with a great cast. It has Melvin Udall, played by Jack Nicholson, living in an apartment alone writing. He is a very successful author but he does not know how to deal with the fame, because of his OCD. Most people do not like him because he is rude and offensive. One person in particular, is his gay neighbor, Simon, played by Greg Kinnear. Simon is an artist trying to live out his life with his partner, Frank, played by Cuba Gooding Jr. melvin is trying to cope with his disorder by going to the same diner everyday and ordering with the same person, Carol, played by Helen Hunt. At first Carol does not like Melvin. Although, Melvin likes her. It turns out that Carol's son is sick, and she needs a lot of money to take care of him. Melvin decides to help her, and pay for his treatment. Melvin just tries to find happiness anyway he can.
Jack Nicholson is such a great actor and everything he is in makes the film ten times better. He is one of the best actors of our generation. Helen Hunt does a fantastic job in this film. She really becomes a role model for single mothers because of her determination to take care of and be the best parent she can for her son. Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding Jr. are great in this film, I love both of them. Any type of film, they can be great at it. This film is Best Picture Winner, and it is a gem that does not deserve the recognition it deserves. It is an amazing film to see.
Grade = 87/100 = B+
