As Good As It Gets

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It was disappointing to hear the F*** word every fifty or sixty seconds, or more. What's Robin's problem? Does he think that he needs to cuss, cuss, cuss to be funny? It would have been a lot more funny if he didn't say that word or a variation of it all the time. It's like he had a bet to see how many times he could say it. I'm just a normal, beer drinkin' American, but I didn't find it amusing. I didn't even finish watching the whole thing. Maybe I would have liked it more back when I was a teenager or something. He is one of my favorite actors and I really like a lot of the movies and other things that he has done, but then it was disappointing to watch this and wonder "Where is that nice, respectable, funny guy that was in the movies that I saw before?"

Robin Williams is a comedic genius, plain and simple. This DVD provides laugh after laugh, and touches subjects to cater to all interests from sports, politics, mind-less insults, sex, and even morals. Not a single breath is wasted on that stage. Every word is well thought out and even slip ups are taken in a direction that makes everyone laugh. The water consumption and output is a feat in itself. Robin Williams is no longer Mrs Doubtfire, Patch Adams, or Peter Panni. Hes a crass 54 year-old with a tongue to match what hes seen and done in his life, and a timing that is nothing short of perfect. I recommend this DVD to all, whether your looking for an hour and a half of good laughs, or if you're looking for something to quote for the rest of your life!

The hardest thing in the acting business is to make someone laugh. And laugh hard! Robin Williams succeeds with what seems like ease, he just fires one joke after another and around 20% are so amazingly funny you wonder if you ever saw a funnier stand-up performance in your life. He made me realize one other thing - comedians are the philosophers of modern time, they are hardcore critics of current state of politics, drugs, sports, environment, just name it, they have witty and to the spot anecdotes for every subject. Without them we would be so much emptier, they realize stuff that's true just no one else sees it.A brilliant and amazingly funny, (repeat this about 5 times to get the idea just how much), an unmissable performance. 9/10

without a debut, this is so of the best stuff robin has EVER done. it just goes to show that standup is still in his blood and that he can still do standup with the best of them. if you need a good laugh, or you want to be on the floor rolling in laughter, this is the best way to make that happen.
