Log Likelihood - Statistics Toolbox

I am using the Statistics Toolbox DFITTOOL to find different pdf's to
a data set. The results produce a log likelihood ratio value and
estimates of covariance etc. Aside from just seeing visually which
fit is better, is it true that the closer the log likelihood is to
unity the better??? [Although a few fits look good, the numbers I
obtain are of the order of -ve millions - does this make sense?]
