As Good as It Gets

Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson), a maniac writer who suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, is the most unpleasant and ungrateful being one can have as a neighbor in New York. Among his routines is to eat every day in a coffee shop, where he serves Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt), waitress and single mother. Simon Nye (Greg Kinnear), a gay artist who lives in the apartment next to Melvin, constantly suffers his homophobia. Suddenly, one day, Melvin has to take care of a small dog even though he hates animals. The animal company will help soften his character.
