4/5
"Stands out as one of the year's best films."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"The dialogue is intermittently clever, the situations preposterous and/or sentimental."  Philadelphia City Paper  Cynthia Fuchs

2.5/4
"As Good As It Gets is decent, if not vintage, James L. Brooks, made all the more palatable by that man Jack Nicholson."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  David N. Butterworth

C+
"It should be retitled "How Good It Couldn't Be.""  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

7/10
"Even the familiar scenes and situations look refreshing."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  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  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"By the time we leave the theater, the warmth of love has melted the coldest heart."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/4
"Brooks is fortunate to have Nicholson in the lead, because it is by his natural charm and smirking wit that his character gets away with everything he does."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

3/4
"The greatest pleasures come from the acting."  TheMovieReport.com  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

C+
"There are some funny and charming lines, but the film is overlong and it rambles a bit."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten
