"As Good as It Gets"

Drama, comedy, romance | 3.96 out of 5 on MyShows | 1997

Melvin Udall is a grouchy and unstable writer who can't stand people and avoids all socializing. His oddities constantly lead to awkward and funny situations. But one day his isolated world collapses: he is forced to take care of his neighbor's dog. Unexpectedly, Melvin begins to change: the dog's loyalty and simplicity teach him empathy, warmth, and humanity. Through the armor of cynicism in his life breaks through the light of real feelings.

"Very good, kind movie. Watched it five times and he does not get bored. Nicholson is a genius", — Kukabara

"A touching story of how a withdrawn, mentally unstable, eccentric, lonely man of age, who supposedly hates everyone, begins to open up and reveal himself when he meets people opposite to him ... Really hit a nerve with Carol's line about why she doesn't have a normal man. Unlike her previous admirer, who was only interested in comfortable pleasure from meetings, Melvin, even with his own awkwardness, immediately began to solve her problems....All in all a very high quality movie in the best traditions of the 90's. Would have given an Oscar nomination to more dog 😄," — Raphaela

"The movie is a basic and pretty simple romantic comedy, but that's a good thing. Sometimes you need to watch something like this to relax too. Without all the extra drama, dirt and stuff", — Foxander

"Sleeping with Other People"

Comedy, romance | 3.29 out of 5 on MyShows | 2015

Jake is a master seducer with a knack for breaking women's hearts. Lainey is his exact opposite: devoted to one love since college, even though it's unrequited. When their paths cross again, an old romantic story resurfaces — a chance to start over. But this time they decide to be just friends. No flirting, no intimacy — after all, it's the sex that has always ruined everything. The question is whether they can resist temptation and really help each other change.

"It really hit my mood... if you look at it as a kind of performance on the theme of relationships, love and sex, it was a high performance. I laughed a lot with the situations and dialogs. I got high and my mood was lifted. And also the cast is cool, as if I plunged into my younger years)", — Lava_recommends

"Good Luck to You, Leo Grande"

Romance, drama | 3.89 out of 5 on MyShows | 2022

"What a delightful, deep and frank movie! Very much liked the plot, actors and dialogues, which is not unimportant.
Emma Thompson is beautiful 😍 But in general, every woman is beautiful at any age, the main thing is just not to forget to remind yourself about it", —  -KaTrInA-

"The movie... Alive. Really alive. Telling about the problems people may have, how they "extinguish" these very problems, how they cope with them, going through something painful, dare, open up, fight, cry, step over themselves, but in the end reaching the goal. And... Ending. Ending on the best note that can only be in the relationship of two people, when you have not had time to settle a black stain in the memory of each other.
There was a twist to the movie that there were only two actors. It's a waste to have three waitresses. They could have left them out of the movie. In general, the movie is not something that would make it worse", — Eva_Satanic
