Melvin Udall, un escritor obsesivo y maniático, es uno de los seres más desagradables y desagradecidos que uno pueda tener como vecino en Nueva York. Es un hombre que sufre de un desorden obsesivo-compulsivo. Entre sus rutinas está la de comer todos los días en una cafetería, donde le sirve Carol Connelly, una camarera y madre soltera. Por su parte Simon Nye, un artista gay, vive en el mismo edificio que Melvin, y sufre constantemente su homofobia. De repente, un buen día, Melvin tiene que hacerse cargo de un pequeño perro aunque detesta los animales. La presencia en su vida del animal ablandará su corazón. (Sony Pictures Esp.)

A film where everything fits together too well for it not to be great and unique. The script is packed with original ideas, strong characters and tragicomic moments where you don’t know whether to laugh or cry (and all they need is to add a cute dog to the story). The director knows very well how to mix the fates of the characters with the maximum catharsis and how to time that load of brilliant one-liners and dialogues. And then you have the best actor of all time in front of the camera in his most entertaining role, you will fall in love with him despite his shortcomings (but I don’t want to play down Greg Kinnear and Helen Hunt, who are also superb). A tasteful and entertaining comedy that teach us things can always get better – and that it can be achieved.

I simply love this movie. There's nothing that can be done about it. The performances here are so captivating that even after watching it multiple times, my jaw still drops because the way Jack Nicholson can act with his entire body is almost unbelievable. Helen Hunt is a great opponent/partner to him, and they are brilliantly supported by Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding Jr. Not to mention Verdell. That dog is unbelievable. An excellent romance with absolutely great lines.

Nicholson's Oscar is rightly deserved, because what Jack does on screen is incredible. At first I was only annoyed by the Czech translation "It’s Not Getting Any Better", which creates a negative impression, while the original title is nothing like that... Otherwise – the way I hesitate to give most films 5 stars, with As Good As It Gets I didn't hesitate for a moment.

A weird romance, well acted but badly written. In the world it takes place (normal reality), that script doesn’t work at all. Either the behaviour and the motivations of the characters would have to change completely, or the rules of that world. In its unaltered form, it’s weird, ineffective and detached from reality nonsense, but watchable nonetheless. PS: At certain moments the great Jack Nicholson reminded me of myself (the way he walks on the pavement, I do that sometimes :-D…) and it scared me quite a bit.

Nicholson’s character is not very realistic, but it should be clear to the more intelligent viewers what the film wants to say. It is a generational piece that has not suffered the ravages of time in the slightest, yet I do not believe it is as universally appealing as, for example, Up in the Air, which is a class better, but just a generation later.
