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 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, must leave work to care for her sick son, making it impossible for Melvin to eat breakfast.

rai-15799 By far the best in history of cinema, and I am a big movie goer, watched hundreds of them, I can say that loudly. May be because I can relate it straight easily to reality.Everything was best, acting , direction, story telling(too good) and all other things.The opening scene grab me with curiosity and could not look away after that till the end, wanna have look at every frame, listen to every dialog and analyze every situation. Just astonishing.
paid in full This movie, is funny, it has romance and drama, it has quality acting.... And more. It is an exploration of an interesting set of characters. You will be drawn into their world. Worth multiple watch. Well written. Engaging.
JohnHowardReid This is definitely a movie that plays with far more power on the home screen than it does in a theater where the director's monotonous TV style, with its tendency to rely on close-ups to carry the emotive action, can become very irritating. It is indeed fortunate that players of the caliber of Nicholson and Hunt can make the best of searching close-ups (they also have the best lines), whereas Kinnear, Gooding and Knight, lacking a similar box-full of histrionic tricks, tend to out-stay their welcome. It's not surprising that Nicholson and Hunt carried off the year's Best Acting awards. In fact, both players are so skillful, they can even hide holes in the script and its inconsistencies of characterization.
greaterhoustonprinting Before life was filled with hate and killing others for their views on faith and lifestyle this movie was released.I good movie for a person that see how others treat each other without knowing any better. It a movie that isn't all love and acting nice to each other. It a movie to shows how each one of us sees and react to others.A movie to shows us that we are the same and yet we hate each other.
