As Good As It Gets

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

A very funny Spanish film, and I share the opinion of a previous reviewer: why didn't this movie receive more play in the USA? Could it be that some of us are so afflicted with political correctness that we can no longer recognize the richness of more traditional gender-related humor? This film creates hilarity in so many directions that it's hard to categorize it as mere comedy (the director has something to say about the mores of society, too.) Let's hope Hollywood doesn't bowdlerize any remake into something pallid, p.c.-- and forgettable.Fine acting, an entertaining script with cleverly-translated subtitles, consistent laughs, and a satisfying ending make this movie a worthy pick!

Rafael is a very greed man, he has born to sell and he knows he will triumph in live. He is the boss of the women's section in a shops center, but he wants to become the big boss. Whe he losses in the race for it with Don Antonio, he accidentally kills him, so Rafael becomes the director of the shops center. Everything seems to be perfect, but Lourdes, an ugly and obsessive saleswoman has seen it and starts blackmailing Rafael in order to become his wife. Mad and terrified, Rafael decides to do something to make a plan to throw away Lourdes. Everything has to be "ferpect". After doing so good films as "la comunidad" or "el dia de la bestia" I expected something more from Alex de la Iglesia. THe film is not bad, it has a great rhythm and it is not boring, creating a great and acid parody of the typical society where the only goal is to become rich. The result is not as good as expected, the film is not bad, but it could be better, manly because of the stupidness of the characters, it is clear that we are inside one of the De la Iglesia's grotesques universes, but the story is too absurd, and actors are not reliable. Both of them seem too artificial and not natural, which makes the film much worse. It is funny, but this dark comedy is not as good as I think an Alex de la Iglesia's film should be, I expected something better.

This Italian comedy starts out well and prospers until about mid-way through, after the "crime" is committed, when the handsome hero, who is surrounded by gorgeous young women whom he regularly beds, is saved by the ugly (and repulsive) duckling. Thereafter, the pursuit by his rescuer and the hero's attempts to get away become repetitive and increasingly unfunny. I give this movie a 5, and -- in my estimation -- that's exceedingly generous. One thing in the film's favor, however, is that the subtitles are very easy to read. In a lot of foreign films, unfortunately, that is not the case, and although one has a general sense of what's going on, the dialog frequently gets lost if you don't happen to understand the language well enough to follow along.

El Crimen Ferpecto is absurdly funny from beginning to end. Rafael Gonzalez (played by a man who looks like the Spanish Dennis Miller) is a fearless lady's man from the moment he pops on screen and reveals his philosophy on life – he goes for what he wants, and he only wants the best. That's why he doesn't mind working at an upscale department store. He's constantly surrounded by perfect things and beautiful co-workers. His perfect world comes crashing down, however, when Rafael and his boss get into a brutal fight that leaves a clothes hanger in Rafael's throat and a coat hook in the back of his boss's neck. His ugly, sex-starved, co-worker Lourdes helps him dispose of the body and cover-up the murder, and then blackmails him for all the sex, love, and affection he can give. Just when you think Rafael's life can't get any worse, it does, and every new punishment Lourdes inflicts on him is better than the one before. Pure entertainment.
