Livet från den ljusa sidan

As Good as It Gets

Även idag är det en fascinerande film som visar hur "good it can get" när Jack Nicholson får utnyttja hela sitt talangfulla register.

Det här är definitivt en film som "växer" med tiden och det gör att den är mycket intressant att återvända till med jämna mellanrum.

Nicholson is on top of his sneering, eyebrow-arching game as Melvin The Misanthrope, obnoxious and offensive to everyone who crosses his path.

...there's so much good here, in the dialogue, the performances and the observation, that the movie succeeds at many moments...

Nicholson. As Melvin Udall, his impeccable comic timing and devilish persona transcend all moral judgement. You'll find you justify his stinging audacity with a it's just Jack, and love him all the more for it.
