Nicholson is on top of his sneering, eyebrow-arching game as Melvin The Misanthrope, obnoxious and offensive to everyone who crosses his path.

I think I've seen this movie 10 times. More than any other. It's a balanced movie, and appropriate for the whole family

What a wonderful movie! A light and delicate comedy for everyone, yet not without deep and exquisitely human moments. I always rewatch it with great pleasure.

Karaktärsdrivet drama med klara ”feelgood-vibbar”, en genre jag vanligtvis inte gillar men denna rulle är så smart konstruerad och välskriven så man faller pladask!

Comèdia espectacular amb el gran Jack Nicholson. Imperdibile si es vol conèixer el cinema americà dels anys 90.

Även idag är det en fascinerande film som visar hur "good it can get" när Jack Nicholson får utnyttja hela sitt talangfulla register.
