AS GOOD AS IT GETS
starstarstarstar
You have to admire the sheer audacity of a comedy that opens with a man — Jack Nicholson, no less — stuffing a little dog down a garbage chute. While the initial surprise of that bit of devastating cruelty gives the impression that anything can happen, the picture settles into an all-too-predictable (and unconvincing) end.

That's right — though he has been linked romantically with A-list sweethearts from Anjelica Huston to Lara Flynn Boyle, the dirty dawg might actually be a pussycat! Here's how we know: Back when the About Schmidt leading man was shooting a scene for 1997's As Good as It Gets with blonde bombshell Julie Benz (Steven Spielberg's Taken), his true colors showed and — surprise, surprise — they weren't red-light-district crimson.
