As Good as It Gets is a romantic dramedy directed by James L. Brooks. The story centers on Melvin Udall, a misanthropic, obsessive-compulsive novelist who unexpectedly finds himself forming fragile connections with his gay neighbor and a kind-hearted waitress. Through awkward encounters and reluctant acts of kindness, Melvin slowly begins to open up to the people around him—and to the idea that change might be possible.

Jack Nicholson won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Melvin, and Helen Hunt won Best Actress—making the film one of the few romantic comedies to win both top acting Oscars. Nicholson’s performance was partly based on real individuals with OCD, and the script was carefully crafted to balance humor with emotional authenticity. The dog Verdell became a fan favorite and even received formal acting training for the role. The film was both a critical and commercial success, praised for its sharp dialogue, strong performances, and heartfelt message about imperfect people finding unexpected connections.
