As Good As It Gets / Elämä on ihanaa. © TriStar Pictures. P+D: James L. Brooks. SC: Mark Andrus, James L. Brooks. CAST: Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear, Cuba Gooding, Jr. 138’. 1,85. Finnish subtitles by Timo Porri. DIST: Columbia TriStar Egmont Finland. Viewed in Helsinki, VET, Thursday 29 January 1998. *** New York stories of a misanthropic writer (Nicholson), a gay artist (Kinnear) and Helen Hunt as the only waitress in town who can stand Nicholson. It is a different and surprising story where one never can tell what will happen next. In the attempt at a relaxed tempo the film loses momentum, but it has interesting things to say.
