...crafted a warmhearted modern fable with a prickly sense of humor. Jack Nicholson plays an obsessive compulsive curmudgeon named Melvin Udall, whose isolated life is complicated by developing relationships with two acquaintances: a gay painter who lives in the apartment next door and a lovely, down-to-earth waitress who serves him lunch every day. The film's genuinely funny, moving script will make the audience feel as if it's earned a pleasant afterglow (and perhaps a Kleenex or two). Erwin R. Rosinberg...

She endears herself to U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones '69) with her charming ignorance of U.S. laws against lying to federal agents, and she knows when to let her man go. The real reason for the change...
...group of killing machines is evil. The Diplomatic Security Service messed up and picked the wrong guy, the supersmart guy to take the fall for them, this time, like always. The man they frame is of course not only super-human, but well supplied with random friends, the Starbucks waitress and this agent that moonlights as a bouncer at Any-club USA, friends who are willing to go the distance for him, providing him with beaucoup cash on demand...
