Highly recommended movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 1999)

Before seeing this film, I heard a lot of good things about it. Usually this builds my expectations so high that anything presented falls short. Not so with this movie. Jack Nicholson presents a very believable obsessive / compulsive person. His reactions are right on the money and make you believe he is Melvin, not an actor playing a part. An excellent and easy to follow storyline with a feel good conclusion. What more could a moviegoer ask?
