Quote: "You make me want to be a better man."

When the single, OC, arogant, old man Melvin Udall's (Jack Nicholson) homosexual neighbour Simon Bishop (Greg Kinnear) gets beaten up in his own apartment, Melvin is asked to take care of him and his annoying pooch till he recovers. Not wanting to do it alone, he drags in the lovely waitress Carol (Helen Hunt), who serves him everyday during Breakfast in a local resturant, to help him. The three then go on a journey of self discovery, love and a friendship that they will all never forget.
