As good as it gets: great compliment

[MrAzteceagle]

she would never.... what????????????????????

[Lightf00t1]

This would have been a great movie if it hadn't been for all the homosexual propaganda. Blatant Hollywood faggotry.

[mataman47]

@Lightf00t1 Wow... You are really discrimatory against gay people... whooo--- grow up. People need to EVOLVE from apes to human beings... I hate to break it to you: you have NOT evolved yet, you have an ape/monkey mentality... LOL. Go eat a banana & scratch your ___.

[Lightf00t1]

@mataman47

Blah blah left-wing bullshit blah blah phobe ism blah blah discrimination blah blah.

GROW SOME BALLS YOU FUCKING PUSSY

[zxdfty77]

Truly -- one of the very best lines from any film -- ever.

[LoneWolfGammaRider68]

U do Wolfee1 U do

[aswin2win]

the next line is pretty great too... too bad its not in this clip...

"Well, maybe I overshot a little, because I was aiming at just enough to keep you from walking out. "

[Luv8sU213]

Worst compliment ever.

[masterbassist93]

@Luv8sU213 so saying that you would change your way of life for the better and do something you truly hate in order to do so isn't a good compliment?

[dahunan]

the MOST VALUABLE gift you can give anyone that Loves you or Life itself..

Is to IMPROVE YOURSELF..

Thank you Jack

[julide88]

@dahunan so well said!

[jblovloss]

Truly is the best possible compliment.

[XxowendanxX]

this is one of those movies that is so great, you have to watch it at least a few times before you realize how great it is...the acting, writing, music, everything...I love Melvin Udall!! he is my hero...they need to do a sequel...now Carol is almost 50 and Melvin is over 70...and the little boy is grown up...or something...

[bfnfamily]

What's the name the film where Jack tells a guy "no cares what you think" or something like that. The clip is on youtube. I forgot the name of the film.

[crjwoods]

wow back in the day she was hot too bad she had to get old jurassic park was really her peak lol i use to have a crush on her as a kid

[OPOSSUMQUEEN]

@crjwoods she was not in Jurassic Park dude!!

[kolokoy12309]

how called the music in the background??

pls??

[soprisrb]

Ah, dude, you missed the best line of the whole movie there! He starts to laugh and says, "Well, maybe I overshot it a little, I was trying to keep you from walking out the room."

[Rotitomato]

A real boring script. The whole movie sucks, yet Jack made it happen. Another one is About Smidt, so boring it's unbelievable, yet Jack pulled it off. He is the No.1 actor on my list.

[ThomasDeCosteTV]

Whatever happend to Helen Hunt?

[aitraining]

The scenes between these 2 were SO good. Love Jack and everyone gives him his just props but Helen Hunt was amazing in this movie. Funny, Sweet, Cute and Dramatic. She should have won an academy award for it frankly.

[superjoerules]

@aitraining She did, actually. Golden Globe and Oscar for best actress.

[cwj1216]

Greatest quote I ever heard. For OCD patient, it is very hard to get over his fixed idea; it would have given him great amount of anxiety to take the pills. But love solved it all. Great movie.

[DGuillory95]

Kudos

[PREZILLA2009]

[Ecosse57]

[funchefGary]

[YOUrmypal68]

You make me wanna be a better man...did I have that effect on you?

[EmileSabetiMehr]

He's like a grandfather, and she's like a college student

[samlouthan131]

i love how it kills jack to give a compliment

[MusicHeart90]

awww....1 person hates pills too.

[EatMyTrousers]

this makes my heart melt

[blackout156]

Aww..thats so sweet.

[sirfabius187]

I'm not gonna lie, after he does the compliment and the cute music starts playing, I blew on the vuvuzela

[pimmelmannmann]

@sirfabius187 ahahahahahahha

[barracuda2111]

MOLTO BELLO 

[YOUrmypal68]

I've got this ailment but I HATE pills

[GG091070]

that's perfect!



[karatcha]

Reminds me of Joker and Vicki Vale.

[aiayumi]

lmao....using pills as an illustration of "you make me wanna be a better man" lool

it's touching and outrageous at the same time

[HufflepuffTheGreat]

God I wanna say this to that special girl SOOO badly right now...

[soco13466]

Jack once said, My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch. This is one thing I have in common with him. Only MY mother said, "If anyone ever calls you a son of a bitch, tell 'em they're right!" Actually she wasn't, but hey she was just showing her sharp sense of humor. She read a lot of books, because when she was a little girl, and my grandfather saw her reading, he'd kick her and say, "Women don't read!" Cranky old Grandpa was wrong. Women DO read. Rest in peace, Mom.

[justified1201]

background music is ?

[samfringo]

my favourite movie scene

[xvoy2002]

Brilliant movie.. the acting, the characters, the story, the lines,, everything.

One of my top five for sure.

[jonaslj1990]

brilliant, so simple and true

[HyruleLand]

I said that to my ex-girlfriend, and she dumped me! Do I need a Jack Nicholson voice?!

[jimmacfx]

"..I guess I overshot there a little bit, I only aimed to prevent you from leaving."

[KoolTunes4Daze]

This is for YOU...my C-S-P mean nasty small Frenchwoman!

[eezysqueezy]

Great movie.

Jack and Helen rock.

[tantrumnikki007]

this is such a cute movie...brilliant...classic

[moodyh]

ofcourse that compliment does do shit for you if you look like jack black and are saying that to megan fox

[muserwood]

Ya know, if this was in order, with Oh, I don't know , NUMBERS ! that actually show the order, hell I might even subscribe.

[Rudis66]

ROFL...brilliant scene...

[pinhead13]

i love this seen, and its a hell of a compliment! but i was hoping to see the intro to it...does anyone know the name of the song when he shows up at the restaurant and is watching her, and shes coming to him? love that

[bjorntooski]

on amazon CD $2 My Only - Danielle Brisebois

[pinhead13]

[maldizse]

And there you have it! So simple.

[kamranii]

Oh God, I could have been laid from here to eternity if I had thought of that line. What a waste.

[devoice]

So funny to watch her reaction when he spends 5 minutes talking about his pills :p

[thegorn68]

Every guy sittng in the theatre watching this was thinking, "Shit! Why didn't I ever think of that?" LOL!

[KrasserBruder1]

background music pls ?

[mattandhiscat]

that gotta be the best compliment ever wow

[AutoActionCam]

Women make me wanna blow my brains out usually.

What's he talking about?

[jenigoboom]

[dyadtwo]

At first, I thought he was talking about taking Viagra!

[mistasmooth150]

lol

[bowlingfan12]

What is the song playing in the backround during this scene? when he actually says something nice.

[RoyalgrEEEn]

love <3

[fierceasfire]

"you make me want to be a better man"

the most selfless statement comes from a man with 0% bullshit.

that's what we'd like to hear guys! lol

[slainted]

Ever notice Jack Nicolsons Tie here ?

Look at the tie knot at the collar...it changes from stripes to checkers between scenes....big boo boo continuity...great movie though.....

[MurphGiovanni]

@slainted ever notice that you've made that same comment on this scene on another person's uploaded clip...acting like you've made some amazing observation that must be shared with the world

[slainted]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[MurphGiovanni]

@slainted  my point exactly...you are putting people to sleep with your lame observation talking about there's a "big contunity boo boo"...lol, what a dork...

[PalaceOfExile]

@fierceasfire Lol 0% bullshit? You must get played a lot.

[Cambaudio]

@fierceasfire I said that to my ex fiance once when I truly meant it. It meant nothing to her.

[ReijiNakashi]

@Cambaudio that skank!!!

[toyotas2006]

@fierceasfire

I need to meet a selfless women

So I can practice!

[Ticonio]

ha,ha, good one!!

[SanDhampir]

@fierceasfire damn right!!!

[Peerybinglenoggs]

@fierceasfire Selfless? Now that is bullshit, and from a woman too. Thats not what i like to hear.

Watch a flick and they think they have a divine one sided act to be wooed and Romanced, welcome to the world of equality.

[zappafreak0]

@fierceasfire Ahhh...A Cover Sniper

[batmansascientist]

God this scene is so amazing & pretty upsetting as well!

Top, top film (:

[lauraken]

What a GREAT scene! I LOOOVE this movie! :)

[lisakay2003]

Are you KIDDING?!?! The best compliment you can ever get from someone is when they say that just having you around makes them a better person. Simply having you around makes them, or at least makes them want to be, a better person. I have had a man say that to me before, and I have never been happier or more in love. And I can give the compliment right back to him. That's what LOVE is all about.

[bee9033]

If you'd see the movie lisakay2003, you would know this man doesn't love easily and isn't one who gives compliments. I myself was with a boy who gave compliments as easy as he could breathe and no matter what cheesy thing he said it didn't mean much. It is when a man TRIES hard to say the most stupidest but obviously from the heart comment, no matter what it is, that it will melt your heart.

[stelutaluidavid]

"That's what LOVE is all about." this is a lot bold, for such a difficult subject...don t you think? But...anyway. This compliment, i tink , is one of the best. When someone around you makes you realize that is something wrong with you, and it also gives you the courage to wanna change...Dont you think is gr8 ??

[RoseMarysBaby28]

@lisakay2003 Not from "someone" from him. This man is a selfish, self absorbed almost schizo man w/OCD & does nothing but seclude himself & insult others w/out remorse or 2nd thought. She affected him in such a way that he wants 2 be better. He's willing 2 leave behind the way he lives his life cuz he doesn't want her 2 see him the way others do & that it matters 2 him proves she already has made him a better man. When u see, feel, want or do things u never could before then u know that its LOVE

[ToyOtaTercBlue]

YOU make me want to be a better person!

[placidpo]

..casual observation should indicate to you that most compliments are given because the person giving the compliment is seeking acceptance.

these "genuine" compliments that you speak of are a bit too much to expect from the layman

[pasfresh123]

... which can be summarized by "I like you and I want you to like me". He's just expressing a selfish desire. How is that a compliment? He's talking about himself. On the other hand, the one at the end of the movie, now THAT'S a compliment.
