'Melhor É Impossível' é muito mais do que um roteiro bem-escrito. Este é um filme que se apóia totalmente nas interpretações de seus atores principais.

Acerbic and outwardly despicable pulp novelist Melvin Udall lives in a haze of obsessive-compulsive behavior patterns, avoiding cracks in the sidewalk and rigidly adhering to his regimen of daily breakfasts in the cafe where harried single mom Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) is the only waitress he'll accept. But his ordered, hermetic world falls apart when his neighbor, 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.

Reviews for As Good as It Gets
Romance comedies definitely come better than this, although perhaps not lately.
Don't judge people too quickly. Never write anyone off. Even the weirdest and most irritating people are full of surprises.
Jack Nicholson has finally met his match with a complicated role which I am convinced few besides him could manage.
Brooks is fortunate to have Nicholson in the lead, because it is by his natural charm and smirking wit that his character gets away with everything he does.
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.
It's fun to watch Jack Nicholson draw on great reservoirs of bile to play a mean SOB with an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
There are some funny and charming lines, but the film is overlong and it rambles a bit.
The story isn't especially interesting, but the way it's performed is marvellous.
The dialogue is intermittently clever, the situations preposterous and/or sentimental.
As Good As It Gets is decent, if not vintage, James L. Brooks, made all the more palatable by that man Jack Nicholson.
