I needed medication for OCD after the movie was over. As good as it gets gets better when SSRIs kick in and the credits roll. Honestly its one of the most overrated movies i know of.

A Quick Tip by Trekscribbler

I hate to admit it, but I've never been a fan of Jack Nicholson. Also, I've never been smitten with the lovely Helen Hunt. Lastly, Greg Kinnear has always been REALLY too smarmy for me.

As Good As It Gets - SOME PEOPLE HAVE NOODLE SALAD!

Pros: Story, acting - everything Cons: Not a thing I know, this has been reviewed to death, but I just saw it again and had to laugh all over. Nicholson should get an award for just standing still! His expressions in this movie are priceless, almost makes you forget what an ass he started out to be. His interaction with Helen Hunt (who may well be one of the best actresses around) make this movie not only believable but also heart warming. … more
