Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's a mark of how magically written, directed and acted As Good as It Gets is that we end up loving this film despite knowing how haphazard, scattershot and almost indefinable its charm is.
– Kenneth Turan,

fresh:
It's fun to watch Jack Nicholson draw on great reservoirs of bile to play a mean SOB with an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

fresh:
Romance comedies definitely come better than this, although perhaps not lately.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
12 Apr 2002
rotten:
The trouble lies in the rambling narrative, Brooks' cautious direction and the cosy tone which renders the whole thing reminiscent of an extended sitcom.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

rotten:
A sporadically funny romantic comedy with all the dramatic plausibility and tonal consistency of a TV variety show.
