Hi to everybody...there's a film hubby and I have watched about four times now and it is never boring seeing it again....it's called 'As good as it gets' and stars Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear as the main characters in it. The performances of everybody in the film are wonderful and we both think that it's probably one of the best films Jack Nicholson ever made.
It's a love story, but don't let that put you off...it's incredibly funny, very sad, incredibly quirky and in one part horrific. It sends you through a roller coaster of emotions as you travel with the characters. Jack Nicholson plays a grouchy, rude and obstreperous guy with a compulsive behaviour disorder who is served regularly in a restaurant by Helen Hunt upon whom he relies to give him his breakfast in particular...gradually he gets drawn into her life and that of his neighbour, Greg Kinnear, playing a gay artist, and who gives a superb performance, along with Helen Hunt as the frought, frustrated mother of an asthmatic and constantly sick son about whom her life revolves with the help of her mother played by Shirley Knight, who is also very good...Cuba Gooding Jnr plays a supporting role as the art agent of Greg Kinnear and is hilarious.
If you want to see a beautifully crafted film, we both recommend this one as a must see...Hope you do get a chance to see it...it's currently showing on Screen 1 on Sky Movies but not sure whether it's on every night...check it and see, if you do have this facility...you won't regret it...:)
