as good a it get be one of those incredibly move film that be also hugely entertain . it not just a comedy and you can not quite label it a drama piece and it just be what it be while simply great . what work here so well be the actor and the script . nicholson and hunt both won oscar and theyre simply great but kinnear be no less effective a nicholson gay neighbour . plus that dog be amazing as well . this film really rely on great performance and there no shortage of that here . as good a it get be also remarkably well write . so well defined character and completely involve and you quite simply grow to love them and sympathize with their plight . nicholson remark be terrific and each one very quotable ( personal fav while i think of a man and i take away reason and accountability ) . direction be first rate and brook make term of endearment so it well establish that he quite capable of make great film . as good a it get be very nearly as good it get .
