Review of As Good as It Gets (1997) by Keri H — 23 Jun 2011
Melvin Udall, the judgemental neighbour from hell. He suffers from OCD and severely dislikes his gay neighbour SImon and his dog Verdell. After Simon is brutally attacked in his apartment Melvin is entrusted to care for the dog.
This film shows the development of Melvin and how he attempts to overcome his OCD. My favourite line in the movie was he says to the dog Verdell, "Don't you be like me!" This shows how some behaviours are learned and how Melvin really wants to change.
He changes dramatically over the course of film and begins to become less introverted. An amazing film with an amazing cast!
