Read MoreThis is one of those rare movies that makes you laugh while at the same time giving you insight into the struggles of its characters. The cast is excellent with Nicholson, Hunt, and Gooding. Greg Kinnear may not be a household name, but his portrayal of Melvin Udall's homosexual neighbor is heart-wearming and endears the viewer to his character. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

A bit forced and wooden, but moves along nicely into a good romantic comedy. Nicholson is good, but teeters on the self-satire he seems to have in a lot of his later films (you know, the Joker: grimmacing, over-acting, crazy eyebrows going up every two seconds). Makes me want to go out and watch About Schmidt again. Now THAT is a great latter-day JN performance. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreI was depending on the reviews to guide me to an entertaining movie for our family to watch together. I can't belive how boring this movie was. People watched this more than once? Only my wife stayed in the room to watch it to the end hoping that it would improve, the rest of us left half way through. We only chuckled twice during this weak story line that was presented as a comdey. I recommend you spend your time on something else. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
