Great performance by Jim


I thought he gave a great performance and he deserved his Golden Globe nomination. If Jack Nicholson wasn't in the same category that year for As Good as it Gets, I think Jim would've had a great shot at winning. He was not only hilarious, but he was great in the dramatic parts. One scene that really sticks out for me is the scene when he wins his case defending Jennifer Tilly and he realizes he defended the wrong person and he made a mistake. The look on his face when he sees the guy losing his kids was great and when he tells off the judge that was another highlight for me. He was great in the scene when he wraps up his case too. Another great dramatic scene was in the end when he told Max how much he loved him and all the mistakes he made. Great performance.


I hold myself in contempt! Why should you be any different?!
