As Good As It Gets

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I am pretty sure some other user comments have made jokes about this movie using the movie's title, so I won't even try. Anyway, this is one of a few attempts American TV network NBC made in the theatrical film department. Watching this movie, you'll get a good idea why they abandoned this avenue after just a few movies. For starters, even on the DVD this movie doesn't resemble a theatrical movie, but a made-for-TV movie. (The fact Aaron Spelling produced the movie probably explains a lot of this.) The script is terrible - I'm not sure if there is footage missing, but it sure feels like it with subjects being brought up then abandoned. As for the direction, the lowest point is when the movie is sped up to resemble Keystone Kops shorts. But what irked me the most about the movie was the characters. The acting is unbelievably bad by all the leads, and none of the band members (except maybe for the lone male member of the band) is likable in any way. And when they sing songs... ouch! I can't picture worse covers to classic rock tunes as those showcased in this movie. The movie doesn't even give viewers who are nostalgic for the '80s any... well, I said I wouldn't make jokes with the title.

Satisfaction is a teenage graduation music adventure come to life! Its about love and friendship. Music and trusting in your closest friends! After graduation and a fast escape from city life a rock and roll band of friends: Jennie Lee, Mooch, Nickie, Billy, and Daryle(Julia Roberts) visit the coast for the summer. They find an upscale bar and stay with its owner(liam Neeson) for the summer. They stay in his boat "shed" and make it a temporary home of their own! They are all confused about life and what they should be doing for the summer and why they are even there, but the music never stops and the girls sing, dance and party their summer away. The Girls fall in and out of love, The music rocks but the singing never dies it just moves on! The summer seems to have flown by and not everyone wants to leave! Separating stinks, but the girls head for home.

The best part of this awful film is when the ending credits are rolling and you hear the band playing and singing the title song.Trouble is that the film is anything but good. 4 teenage girls and a young guy embark on a summer of fun when they land a job playing as a band at a beach resort. One girl is an orphan, but nothing is said about the other teens' parents. They just hop in a van and go.We have what could fall into a beach blanket movie with singing,gaiety, an attempted suicide and a romance between Justine Bateman and Liam Neeson, a widowed song writer who shall we say has a lot on his mind.Of course, Neeson likes the band so much that he wants them to defer school and go rock in Europe.I added the extra 1/2 star since the film did end correctly, that is, that school comes first. Unfortunately, this film comes in last.

This movie is fantastic. It features the Eighties' bad taste, bad ass Justine Bateman, the rest of Julia Roberts and horrible classic rock songs. I'm told I have to make this review 10 lines long so I'm going to write a bunch of words now. But I've already said what had to be said about this swell movie. It's fine. The reviewers who badmouthed it simply have messed up and hurtful priorities. That's got to be 10 lines. But I'm told it isn't. So I'm still writing words. How much do you really need to know about what people think about a movie? It's not that big of a commitment just to watch it and make up your own mind, for crying out loud. This has got to be 10 lines. Oh, thank god!
