As Good As It Gets

Brace yourself for Melvin. Jack Nicholson gives an Academy Award winning performance as Melvin Udall, an acid-tongued, obessive-compulsive romance novelist with Manhattan's meanest mouth. But when his neighbour Simon (Greg Kinnear) is hospitalised, Melvin is forced to look after Simon's dog. And that unexpected act of kindness, along with the daily exchange of insults with Carol the waitress (Helen Hunt), helps put Melvin back in the human race.

Best Picture (Comedy or Musical) Golden Globe Winner 1997.

• " The greatest pleasures come from the acting. " – Michael Dequina

• " Not only one of the best romantic comedies of the year, but one of the best films in ages. " – Garth Franklin
