As Good as It Gets (DVD, 1998)

Acerbic and outwardly despicable pulp novelist Melvin Udall lives in a haze of obsessive-compulsive behavior patterns, avoiding cracks in the sidewalk and rigidly adhering to his regimen of daily breakfasts in the cafe where harried single mom Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) is the only waitress he'll accept. But his ordered, hermetic world falls apart when his neighbor, a gay painter, needs a babysitter for his cherished dog--and only his long-time nemesis Melvin will do. Then, when the waitress's son's serious illness keeps her from work, Melvin realizes how much he needs her after all. Academy Award Nominations: 7, including Best Supporting Actor--Greg Kinnear, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score (Musical/Comedy), and Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. Academy Awards: Best Actor--Jack Nicholson and Best Actress--Helen Hunt.

This is an entertaining fil. I will watch it despite the fact that Helen Hunt stars in it. I think that a better actress could have been found, and I don't feel that Jack Nicholson and her mesh together into a believeable couple.

With that aside, I feel the movie was entertaining. The photography was great and the humor was fun.

It is a good movie, not the best I've scene, but average. I still bought it and have it in my collection and it is worth watching a few times.

This is one of the best moviesof all times. You laugh, cry, are amazed. Greg Kennear is super great and then Helen Hunt and Jack Nickelson is the icing on the cake. I could watch it once a day. Greg's performance is so perfect I could watch the part over and over when he says "Your way indians wrote on cave walls". He is something else and the dog was so beautiful I instantly wanted one. I know three dogs played that part but those eyes were mesmerizing and when the dog wouldn't step on the crack I laughed and was amazed again. I can't say enough about the movie so I will stop here. It is just an excellent movie. Everyone should watch.

This is my favorite movie of all times and this is why I bought it. I have a lot of my favorites on VHS format, but now with my new tv and surround sound system I needed DVD's. I am trying to replace my VHS library with a variety of movies and dvd's I will enjoy watching over and over again. This is certainly one of them. This movie changed my whole image of Jack Nickelson and Helen Hunt is also very, very good in this movie. I received the merchandise very quickly. This is what I like. I am an impulsive buyer and when I see something i want I am anxious to receive it.

The purchase of the movie was a good experience of how ebay shopping should work. Thanks for the opportunity of giving a review of this experience.

Jack Nicholson what more needs said? This is one of the greatest movies of my time. Helen Hunt and the whole cast is perfect. Great movie. Winner of 2 Academy awards, for Hunt and Nicholson. Nicholson amazes me in every scene no one else could of pulled this off!
