Film #75: AS GOOD AS IT GETS (1997)

This was a good film and was quite funny but I don't agree with the ending. The story is about Melvin, Jack Nicholson, who has extreme OCD and spends his life alone as he has no social skills and basically insults everyone he meets. When his neighbour Simon, Greg Kinnear, gets robbed and attacked in his house Melvin has to help look after him and his dog. As well as his new acquaintance Carol, Helen Hunt, who works at the cafe that he visits every day. The film shows the development of Melvin and how he is able to find friends and sort out his life. The part of the film I didn't agree with is the ending which had a very predictable love interest which I didn't agree with for reasons which I won't write about as it will spoil the ending to the film which isn't fair to those who haven't seen it.
