As Good As It Gets
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Richard is a seriously paranoid young man who has been getting in and out of mental hospitals. He hears voices all the time and he thinks his family has been killed and replaced by imposters. His father would like him to be hospitalized again ASAP, but his mother insists that the best place for him to be cured is home. On the thirteenth day of Christmas, just after some family friends have departed, Richard finally loses it completely and....This is a well-made low-budget shocker that effectively portrays homicidal madness and paranoia, aided by John Wheatly's tour-de-force performance as Richard. Yet, it feels misplaced in the "Time For Murder" series, as it has nothing to do with the mystery genre; it is just a disturbing study of a disturbed mind. Recommended only for horror fans, really. *1/2 out of 4.
