Superb acting....... beautiful story

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2005)

Our revolves around three main characters Melvin ( Nicholson )wemons novelist with a chronic compulsive disorder . Carol ( Hunt ) a waitress single mother longing for something to happen to her life , and Simon ( kinnear ) a gay artist who find companionship in a way he never thought he could.
This film works in so many ways , a first date movie or a Saturday night movie , or even as a one liner hit comedy.
All the main leads are aceptional hence all the Oscar nominations ( which Nicholson and Hunt won , Kinnear missed out only to Robin williams , which is no defeat at all ) .
This is one of very few films where we all can relate to some sort of emotion shown in this movie , whether it be a sad or happy moment this film has it all.
The directing and screenplay are second to none as we follow the characters with a keen eye and wonderment , as all these troubled storys interlock and develop. and the directing allows us to follow the changes in the characters feelings and look on life.
This film is a superb piece of modern cinema , well worthy of its critical acclaim.
