Melvin Udall, a cranky, bigoted, obsessive-compulsive writer of romantic fiction, is rude to everyone he meets, including his gay neighbor, Simon. After Simon is brutally attacked and hospitalized, Melvin finds his life turned upside down when he has to look after Simon's dog. In addition, Carol, the only waitress at the local diner who will tolerate him, leaves work to care for her chronically ill son, making it impossible for Melvin to eat breakfast.

" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 Still amazing, the acting transcendent. Greg Kinnear is just criminally underrated, a subtle and moving performance. You feel every level of his pain. "

"Not gonna lie, I was somewhat turned off by the writing initially, but the movie gradually won me over as it progressed due to character development. Jack Nicholson’s performance (and also the adorable dog) steals the show."

"A movie about damaged souls that will touch your heart. The performances are visceral and not overdone... A good adult film!"
Anita Skop
"Romantic comedy for the more mature crowd. Surprisingly delightful look at the connections people make and the results that arise from them. Jack Nicholson was perfect in this role and Cuba Gooding Jr gave a splendid performance."
Ryan Fisher
"I fell for all the different characters in this movie they are so different but work so well with each other. It’s funny with a lot of heart. "
