As Good As It Gets

Dragan Antulov
"Don't judge people too quickly. Never write anyone off. Even the weirdest and most irritating people are full of surprises."
Spirituality and Practice

Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
4/5
"'Melhor É Impossível' é muito mais do que um roteiro bem-escrito. Este é um filme que se apóia totalmente nas interpretações de seus atores principais."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
