Movie Review

Grade: A Both Jack Nicholson and Helen Hurt deserve their Oscars for the performances given in As Good As It Gets. Nicholson explodes onto the screen in the role that fits him like a glove. Melvin Udal has to be the most repulsive, awful, and rudest man ever to be made into a main character which ultimately makes him hilarious, his jokes funny, his insults cunning. As Good As It Gets is well crafted and definitely a winner in anyone's book. Read the full movie review
