As Good as It Gets
.
This is a smart, charming and funny movie with Jack Nicholson playing the role of Melvin, an obsessive-compulsive curmudgeon who falls in love with waitress and single mother, Helen Hunt, and reluctantly befriends his gay neighbor, Greg Kinnear. The dialog is sharp, witty and often poignant. By the end of the movie, the humanity of all the characters is clear, and you see the dignity and worth that they (and we) all possess.
I agree, this movie was great! I found myself really wanting him to get his act together and not blow things.
