Too much of everything

Good movie but grossly overrated

As Good As It Gets

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie for the reasons above. The actors are all very good (which means the director was superb). Annabella Sciorra is a personal favorite of mine as she can tackle the most difficult characters and deals with them with great ease. There is a scene in which the character played by Ms. Sciorra is in a (catholic) church with her boyfriend of the moment. Sciorra tosses off lines with some rather explicit language and makes it seem natural. Later she and the boy friend indulge in some mutual shows of affection in the church and again it seems natural.The subject of lesbian relationships comes up at various times and once it again it is dealt with very well. If you don't yet love San Francisco you will at the end of the movie. If you don't yet love Annabella Sciorra you will at the end of the movie.

It seems this movie gets watched either because of Jon Bon Jovi or in spite of him. I'm one of the latter - it was on TV right after my supper and i said ok, now i'll watch this movie even if JBJ is starring... i must say that my prejudice wasn't based on his acting, as i never watched him act - it's more that i find his music trash. But he turned out quite a ok actor. But even better was the movie overall - a smart relationships- and looking-for-love story with a nice plot revolving around 5-and-a-half characters and taking sharp turns every 10 minutes, with (almost) everything happening at wrong times. I did find the style of some of the main characters' various confessions slightly over-styled for the confidant at hand, but i did like the idea of every character having his own way of analysing him/herself aloud (confession booth, support-group, taxi-dispatcher, shrink, diary); but i also didn't mind the glitch in light of the rest of this witty, funny, honest, warm movie. I especially liked the acts of Josh Charles and Annabella Sciorra.

Ok...I admit it. I'm totally in love with Jon Bon Jovi and I seen this movie that had him in it...so I had to see it. I didn't know if I would like it or not...I knew it was about love, but that's it. Well...I watched it and surprised...I actually liked it. It was a cute little film. It was kinda confusing at times, but I enjoyed it. And yes...Jon Bon Jovi HAS improved on his acting ability. I'd recommend the movie to people. :)

"Little City" refers to San Francisco of which much mention is made and many landmarks are shown in this film which features an ensemble cast of quality actors all comfortably engaged in sorting through the romantic vicissitudes of their characters lives. Lively, fun, and glib, "LC" is a little situational plotless and soapless "chick flick" with lots down-to-earth dialogue about relationships. A fun, light hearted watch for mature channel surfers, especially couples and San Franciscans.
