But among the most important ingredients to making that work is Nicholson’s performance.

   Is 'as good as it gets' a good movie?

   • But “As Good as It Gets” is a compromise, a film that forces a smile onto material that doesn’t wear one easily. Melvin is not a man ever destined to find lasting happiness, and the movie’s happy ending feels like a blackout, seconds before more unhappiness begins.

   Would a 'as good as it gets' movie have worked?

   • A title like As Good As It Gets sounds more appropriate for a more realistic take on its characters, with a more complicated ending. Such a film could have worked. It would have made more sense, and it would have been less of a star vehicle and more an ensemble piece, Carol and possibly even Simon having equal time to Melvin.

   Dec 22, 1997 · As Good As It Gets. Comedy. 138 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 1997. Roger Ebert. December 22, 1997. 5 min read. There’s something about Jack Nicholson that makes you want to grin. Maybe it’s the anticipation that you’ll see him get away with something. He’s the guy who knows the angles.

   It starts off brilliantly - and I actually think if it was a 45 minute slice-of-life film, it would be great. But there's a moment where Nicholson stops being Melvyn, and becomes 'Jack Nicholson'. When it becomes just a regular rom-com, it gets a little out of key for me.
