Premise
A grumpy writer deals with a gay neighbor and a single-mom waitress.
Who should watch
Those who like well-acted, well-written films.
Thoughts
A very solid film with humor and character. The writing was full of funny lines and had four genuine characters. On top of that, Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding Jr create a great ensemble performance.
It was hard to find any flaws with this film, but I would not consider it best of the year. Very satisfying, but not great.
What I would change
Nothing.
