| film directed by James Brooks based a great story by Mark Andrus about Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson) a misanthropic best-selling romance novelist in New York City, Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) as a waitress from Manhattan and a single mother struggling to raise her chronically asthmatic son, and Simon Bishop (Greg Kinnear) as a talented contemporary painter, a savory comedy about great humane prejudices at the beginning of the 3rd millennium, a romantic satire which first make people laugh, and then make them think. QUOTES: MELVIN UDALL: I've got a compliment for you. CAROL CONNELLY: You know what? MELVIN UDALL: Let me talk. I might be the only person on the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I'm the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing you do, in how you are with Spencer, Spence. And in every single thought you have, you almost always mean something that's about being straight or good. I think most people miss that about you. I think most people miss that about you and I watch wondering how they can watch you bring them food and clear their table and never get that they have just met the greatest woman alive... And the fact that I get it makes me feel good... about me! Is that something that it's bad for you to be around? CAROL CONNELLY: No. MELVIN UDALL: I'm going to grab you? I didn't mean for that to be a question. I'm going to grab you. MELVIN UDALL: I know I can do better than that. CAROL CONNELLY: Better. Definitely better. |
