comedy ( especially romantic comedy ) can only be judge by how much they make you laugh and if they make you feel good inside . as good a it get do it for me every time . i be not just say this on account of be a jack fan . the character be so beautifully draw and you forget it just jamie from mad about you ( helen hunt ) and the man with the eyebrow ( nicholson ) . this movie deserve all of it oscar and and then some . the role of an obsessive compulsive be an easy one to parody and mock to death and but jack do it with style and humour and emotion and and that usual nicholson flair . hunt have never be well a a waitress with a major anxiety to do something for herself for a change . greg kinnear be also very good a a gay artist that end up have to turn to the irascible jack for help after he be scar and leave destitute follow a break in . this be such a special comedy and fresh from the pen of james l. brook and the man behind the wonderful term of endearment ( another wonderful nicholson performance ) and broadcast news . as good a it get make me feel so good and even though i couldn not really relate to the character situation . the humor be pure jack and set to the script with perfect ease . the emotion evoke by the actor be also authentic and heart felt and a if they love what they be act out . movie like this come few and far between and and that be the reason why i appreciate this film so very much . as good a it get be one of the best film of 1997. rating represent four star .
