Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

HotToastyRag Starring Michael Caine, Billy Connolly, Brenda Vaccaro, and Valerie Perrine, Water is a very silly satirical movie about greed's destruction of the simple ways of life. Michael Caine is the governor of a Britain-owned Caribbean island, and while he and everyone else on the island is peaceful and happy, when a natural resource is discovered, bigwigs visit the island to try and exploit it.I'm sure there are lots of people who will get a good chuckle out of Water, the types of people who like films like Bananas or Dr. Strangelove. I'm the not the best audience member for this genre, so I didn't really like this movie. Also, it's a little silly, and very obviously a movie that was made in the 1980s. But if those qualities appeal to you, you might like it better than I did. I was never a fan of the Monty Python films, and the same producer worked on Water, so that might have had something to do with my lack of enjoyment. For those with similar taste as I do, I'd recommend Without a Clue for a funnier flick.

ttrish47 This is a really fun movie. It has great actors and the plot, political references, and music make it worth a look. Sometimes movies just need to be fun.Michael Caine looks like he is having a good time making this movie and the other actors meld in with his actions. Brenda Vaccaro and Leonard Rossiter created characters that were almost embarrassing to watch. They were great.Whoever cast Billy Connoly and Jimmie Walker was a genius. Fred Gwynne will be remembered as a Munster, but I think this was one of his great roles.

andrew macleod My name is Michael Caine .... Baxter Thwaites gave his standard performance but his innate snideness came out well as the British looking down on its colonies. Fulton Mackay .... Eric excellent performance as a wayward holyman. Billy Connolly .... Delgado on this early film role, showing his talent & timing.These three performances make this an inspired work

sibisi73 A mildly amusing comedy from the double act of Clement/La Frenais, that has pretensions to some kind of political satire, but isn't nearly clever enough, despite allusions to the Falklands War, and plenty of topical material ripe for parody. It is, however, occasionally very funny, with a cast wringing every laugh from a script that doesn't deserve them, and all manner of stereotypes, including some hilarious observations of the Brits themselves. You can't really go wrong with a supporting cast like this, although Caine seems out of his depth, mugging his way through, ill at ease with his unnatural comic timing. It is certainly worth a look, if only because it's the only place you're likely to see Maureen Lipman's impersonation of Margaret Thatcher, and Billy Connolly singing, with George, Ringo, and Eric Clapton as the backing band.
