Excellent but underrated film

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

As Good As It Gets

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Beautiful film. I've watched it over and over and over. It's a favorite of mine. The music always grabs my heart and the trials they go through to god eachother is real struggles we all go through and give up. It's just what you dream of that you meet someone to connect this way with. It's like the first time all the time.

For someone like Mike who's already in Heaven ( where there are lots of beautiful souls like Annie flying around), choosing to go back to earth IS A COMPLETELY WRONG CHOICE!This is taken the fact that even when Mike does finally met Annie, which he did, they could never remember their affair back in Heaven, WHAT'S THE POINT? Their big love affair in Heaven is gone for good, but if Mike chooses to stay in Heaven and wait for Annie to come back one day, there is still hope!( Particularly when there are so many things you can do while waiting for her.) At least Mike can realize and remember Annie as Annie ! Must love be so stupid and blind?Is this what the story wants to convey?

I read the guidelines and they recommended me not to say anything regarding to others comments, but I just wanna say to those who thinks this film is "boring"; Have you ever thought that on the second half of the film is supposed to be "everyday-life"? The director seems to playing on the contrast between heaven and earth. Heaven is "perfect" and never a dull moment, while earth is a difficult place to live and we are bored stiff sometimes. I have to admit that the director hasn't thought every detail trough. He could have made this movie much better, if he focused more about the souls as he does when they are in heaven. Examples; what makes us the one we turn out to be? played more with our ideas we take back with us(like the song "we never danced") from heaven. What I'm saying is that it seems the director was rushing the film to be released in the end of production. Although the film has these small "flaws", I think the film gets extra stars for originality, and it definitely touched me in some ways I can't describe. - The boring second half, is a portrayal of life and it's flaws-.

This was a fabulous movie. It makes you sad, and happy, and hoping, and wishing, and everything that a movie should do. The sound track alone is worth it, I bought it and it is SOoooooooooo GREAT!!! Both feature players, Hutton & McGillis are so convincing in their roles. GREAT movie!! It shows that Heaven can be all things for all people, and is just dreamy. You despair at the last minute and then,.... well, you will have to see it yourself. I think it's a real classic. At times it is a real heart grabber. You think.. JUST TURN AROUND!!!Wish it was on DVD.
