movie review - As Good As It Gets

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1998.01.25

This dull, obnoxious, and ridiculous movie had one or two touches, but it was mostly patronizing bullshit. Well, I didn't walk out, so there's that.

Not recommended.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
