As Good as it Gets

Not quite.  Although it was pretty good.  There’s just something about the May-December romance that doesn’t seem right though.  Jack Nicholson’s character is a creep – no matter how much money he has.  Basically, this movie says that money can buy people.  If Jack Nicholson was a regular nice guy (not even neurotic) and had no money, there’s no way Helen Hunt’s character would go for him… even if he was really charming and witty.  Plus, we find that money can also buy health – what was that about?  We never find out just what was wrong with the kid.  Despite those flaws, I still liked the movie.  It kept me entertained for a couple hours, and there was a lot of good acting from virtually every actor.
