Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

coolanddark Great movie, very emotional, well written and acted. Don't tell anybody but I cried thru the whole movie.

Armand just beautiful. for performance. for profound - game of reflections -story. and for the art to discover root of basic things. tale of a family. crisis, frustrations, lost of patience. and a house. as axis, silhouette, mirror. river of tensions. search of sense. a war out of limits. or sense. in fact, a secret battle. and the fragile, magnificent victory. victory of each character. against it. result - touching-subtle picture of every day. a lesson. and more. because this film is only echo of ordinaries situations. nothing more. its real virtue - to be an universal image. not inspiration for solutions. not sad. just meditation about root. root of small events. and build of a house into the heart of others soul.

aurora129 Love, love lost and love gained are what I would consider the defining characteristics of this film. By examining the fates and troubles of a handful of individuals and their interaction with one another this film defines what it is to be a family. The house, its demolition and re-building is the ultimate metaphor that is central to each individual characters transformation. Character functions and the ideologies surrounding life, family, death and re-birth play a crucial role. Life As A House is predominantly a film set around one families struggle to accept one another and how the fate of one persons demise eventually brings them together.

reneweddan If given one word to describe this film: Amazing. If given three words: Amazing, Amazing, Amazing.Kevin Kline, Kristin Thomas, and Hayden Christensen all give very convincing portrayals of their characters, the acting is beyond extraordinary. They make you empathize more than you'd imagine possible.Some compare it to American Beauty, but I believe both movies are in a class of their own. American Beauty was a bit darker than this film is, but either way, this is worth the watch.This film is a must-see under any circumstance! Every moment sucks you in and you're always eager for more. I was expecting an easy watch, but not such an emotionally enticing film. I know that this film will stay with me forever, it's one of those movies that you always remember, the one that doesn't have to be written down because you'll always have the title memorized.Bravo to the Director, the Writer, and all of the actors.
