Additional InformationAcerbic and outwardly despicable pulp novelist Melvin Udall lives in a haze of obsessive-compulsive behaviour patterns, avoiding cracks in the sidewalk and rigidly adhering to his regimen of daily breakfasts in the cafe where harried single mom Carol Connelly is the only waitress he'll accept. But his ordered, hermetic world falls apart when his neighbour, 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.<BR. Directed by James L. Brooks (TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, BROADCAST NEWS), AS GOOD AS IT GETS was nominated for seven Academy Award, 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.
ReviewsRolling Stone - ...Hugely entertaining....Nicholson is in top form -- nobody is better at lacing laughs with malice..., Entertainment Weekly - ...It's fun to watch [Nicholson] play an SOB..., USA Today - ...The full octane Jack is back....Hunt delivers one of the year's most appealing performances..., New York Times - ...It shows off Mr. BrooksÆ gift for the right-on zinger and his sweet, rueful way of enjoying his characters' stubborn tics....As winning as it is barbed..., Sight and Sound - ...Nicholson is an endlessly watchable performer...
