This film is a masterpiece on so many levels. One of the gems is seeing Nicholson's character struggle with expressing his positive feelings (insults and complaints come much more easily). I know many men with similar dispositions and I've never seen it done so tenderly as it is in this movie.
Profoundly unrealistic. He has no empathy. Thats why he doesnt even realize when he is being a jerk. Uses money to buy this girl's favors. The guy is a narcissist. Hes not even trying to be "better". He just wants this girl and thinks if he acts more like her, he will get her.
@@sbraypaynt I watched it. The only reason they are on this date is because he literally said that him getting her son covered by his insurance, obligated her to do him a favor and go out with him. That was the line that convinced her to go. 🤣🤣🤣
Yup pre internet, pre everyone on their cell phone, pre leaving a yelp review, pre being recorded by others, pre posting on Instagram or Facebook a picture of your meal or a selfie, pre using an app to pull a menu, pre using a GPS to find the quickest way there, just living being yourself and being happy. A most wonderful time that anyone under thirty never experienced or doesn't relate except when maybe they were in kindergarten. 😮😢😂
I told a girlfriend "You make me want to be a better person." She replied, "Not going to work Keit, I've seen the movie. Think up your own compliments."
If you don't know how to dance, put aside your anxiety and just do it. Love and romance are beautiful, don't deny yourself the act of dancing with your woman because of being self-conscious.
For me, without a doubt, one of the great achievements of cinematography. Brilliant plot, brilliant script, brilliant acting. Right up there with the Shawshank Redemption. Heaven only knows how many times I have watched this film (and the other).
If Helen Hunt said "If You Ask Me I'll Say Yes" I don't think there is another man on Earth who wouldn't have asked her, and if she kissed you like that after moving one chair closer to you you would not be in touch with reality if you didn't understand the meaning of those two actions. Fantatic Scene!!!
"You look so se..." A suit and a nice hairstyle can do wonders. Men wonder why women don't seem to want sex as much as they do. But men so seldom make the effort that when they finally show up in anything other than jeans, women become the lovers they've being wanting. Look nice, guys. It's sexy.
True. One night I had a female friend give me the up & down when I showed up at where she was cocktailing after I had bought a new pants & shirt combo and got a little extra gussied up. She nearly gasped, "Don't YOU clean up nice!" We had known each other years, but that was the only time I had gotten that kind of reaction from her.
That line sounded weird to me. Feels kind of inappropriate and desperate. I would reword it as, “you won’t upset me” or something like that. I also would remove the word “romantic” from the line. Feels kind of unnecessary
This is an exam0le of a man not being comfortable with the vulnerability of emotions, or maybe intimacy. I don't know who wrote this, but they knew this kind of person.
I have schizofrenia and when i broke up (well she broke up with me) with my first love at the age of 20 i started to go to an psychiatric and i called my ex girlfriend and told her i started to see a shrink. She dismissed as something trivial at the time i didnt realised i did it for her because i wanted to get better for her to be a better man.
you make me want to be a better man.is a great compliment.Only a mature person can see that.Its not a selfish compliment.Look at the depth of the compliment.
i wish i was a better man. Deuteronomy 28, Joshua 1:7-8, Romans 13:1-5, Revelation 20:10-15. Nicholson the greatest actor of all time, shiny, the greatest movie of all time, im sorry, im being sarcastic, because im trying to be funny, but, im asking about Nicholson, though.
I use this line with every woman I'm attracted to. "You make me want to be a better man." Not that I was a bad man in any way, but it gets me there in a heartbeat.
I had acute ocd - hospitalised with it - but with immersion therapy, cbt and the support of family and friends I now lead a normal life. Ocd thoughts only an issue if I get run down and tired but after a good sleep no problem. In short you can manage the disorder.
It’s so comical that Melvin can dish as many insults as he wants, but when he delivers a compliment, it drains all of his energy 😂🤚
To be fair that wasn't even the worst insult he gave, in fact, what he said was a compliment by his standards.
It was an insult, but not nearly as crazy as the other ones he delivered earlier especially the ones directed at Simon
😂😂
This is one of my favorite Helen Hunt films. Pay It Forward is another one. I just love her acting.
Yes I forgot about that one! Pay it forward was a great film!

@@JayS.-mm3qr…did you watch the film or just this scene?
@@sbraypaynt i watched it multiple times. Why?

Such a beautifully written and acted scene.
"You make me want to be a better man." Is there a greater compliment than that?
I can't say there is.
I don't know .😮💗
How bout “and you make me want to be an older woman “
Especially coming from him
It worked on my girl .
I love this movie these kinda romantic comedies especially from the 90s they give you those nice old vibes nostalgic feel so beautiful

@@LuisFernando-yd3mxI’m 25 and I think about those moments all the time.
@@bern1223glad you think about it. But you never lived it. You are locked into the matrix that is the Internet.
Thank you for putting the whole scene
One of the greatest films ever!
"They make me buy a new outfit and they let you in wearing a house dress" lol
That's one thing I have to remember never to say to a woman I'm dating! Lol
😂
Helen Hunt is so beautifully expressive.
❤
"If You Ask Me I'll Say Yes..."
”you want answers? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH."
you win lol
Jack Nicholson is such a Fine Actor...one of my Favorites. Never disappoints.
Such sincere acting. Oscars were so deserved.
I told a girlfriend "You make me want to be a better person." She replied, "Not going to work Keit, I've seen the movie. Think up your own compliments."
😂
@@gapman565 Been there. A girl wrote "You're so cool" on a napkin and gave it to me once. I called her out on it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
True romance
@@brianbaeza2942 yep
If you don't know how to dance, put aside your anxiety and just do it. Love and romance are beautiful, don't deny yourself the act of dancing with your woman because of being self-conscious.
But if you do, they will never write a romantic comedy about you.

she was a beautiful lady, she acts to prideful in this movie
James 4:6,
His agony at trying to be pleasant is classic.
I've always loved her she's so sweet
The song, My Only, absolutely sets this scene!!
Yep!
I agree!, it is catchy!
yes by Danielle Brisebois
So wonderful. The song of the movie, for me !
My Rosencrantz and Guildenstern observation - I really love the kindness and consideration of the restaurant staff
Maybe the best lines in a romantic and funny movie... Excellent! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Jack is so handsome in this scene, I love him❤
Nicholson’s face at 1:45 his eyebrows went up 😂😂
One of the best movies ever made...
AGREED
Helen Hunt is to die for
She’s just so awesome in this film!
I love the song in this scene 💯
I love her, I've always loved her and will still love her when she's 99 years old.
I couldn't stand her in Mad About You (seemed a gimmicky actress, always busy with small tasks while delivering lines), but this film changed my mind.
Wow what a compliment, totally made up for everything he said before! xD
You would think there was no way Melvin could mess this up when she said, 'if you ask me, I'll say yes.' Oh Mr. Udall...
That line sounded weird to me. Feels kind of inappropriate and desperate. I would reword it as, “you won’t upset me” or something like that. I also would remove the word “romantic” from the line. Feels kind of unnecessary
@@gareginasatryan6761: Maybe, but you are there, and the writers and actors went to Oscar night.
BURN!!!

What i love most about this film. Is that it gave jack a chance to show his more tender and romantic side.
One of the best movies I've seen
Best film ever.
This is already a classic movie
An excellent script. All of the actors brought their A game for this classic film 😎
Some dont realize that its hard for alot of men and women to have normal relationships with others
I have schizofrenia and when i broke up (well she broke up with me) with my first love at the age of 20 i started to go to an psychiatric and i called my ex girlfriend and told her i started to see a shrink. She dismissed as something trivial at the time i didnt realised i did it for her because i wanted to get better for her to be a better man.
I hope it helped.
I hope you are ok.
Do not look back, let her go, from her atitude you know she is not in your future. Move on, you deserve better.❤
Astounding acting both
Beautiful scene, but at the end, Melvin spoiled the date. 😢
I mean is always a good approach in the later stages of life 😂 I started at 17 but I failed in one area bad obviously.
LOVED WATCHING THIS SHOW.
One of my all time favourites.
That house dress and ill tell your waiter!!¡
jack nicholas is like my uncle. easy at insults and hard at praising
Best movie ever
I like the back ground music
Danielle Brisebois
TWO HARDSHELL CRAB DINNERS!
Love is grand
2:31 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No one besides Jack Nisholson could have played this role.
My boyfriend said something similar to me before we started dating and no he never saw this movie
But my mommy said I couuld act like this if I was triggered 😂😂😂
Here's the trouble with never.
I used to remember his lines, selecting them, speech tests, dorm, 2011, before I told her I loved her
1:00 THAT !!! should be JACK'S Tombstone ! ❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've never been to a fine dining restaurant where people dance within a couple of feet of your table.
The REAL funny thing is that Jack is rly charming with women in real life...
"Sit down...
You can still give me the dirty looks."
well... she was wearing a house dress
I luv something's gotta give more❤️❤️
so did he get the hard shells ?
... _that_ went well 😕
I'm already cringing before he says "I had to buy a new outfit and they let you in with a house dress."
1:00
She has the patience of a monument.
5:25 over shot
4:05
selfish compliment if you ask me
Adults are complicated. You'll figure this out.
you make me want to be a better man.is a great compliment.Only a mature person can see that.Its not a selfish compliment.Look at the depth of the compliment.
Why is this so me and my boyfriend😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
7:53
It wasnt a mistake. The guy is a legit creep.
Great flick, i worship you jack Sir.
Actress says, - dripping wet, im never ever gonna sleep with you.
Then she says - if you ask me ill say YES
I know
And thank u
It’s coexistance😌😊
i wish i was a better man.
Deuteronomy 28,
Joshua 1:7-8,
Romans 13:1-5,
Revelation 20:10-15.
Nicholson the greatest actor of
all time, shiny, the greatest movie of all time, im sorry,
im being sarcastic, because im trying to be funny, but, im
asking about Nicholson,
though.
this movie cannot be improved.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha. I do the same thing. It's going well and then you say the dumbest f'ing thing. hahaha. I yam what I yam
It's a lie.
L Oscar,certo,ad entrambi,per un film mediocre.
😘👊😘
'you've got a beaudacious rack' is a far better compliment than something as girly as you make me want to be a better man.
Ugh. I would much rather be complimented on an aspect of my personality!
Not at all, a man saying that means that I want my masculinity to be strong enough to be a partner to you. It's a beautiful compliment.
I bet you are alone...😊
how's that compliment working out for you?
Wrong
2023 - "You make me want to be a woman" Oscar winner, writing winner, etc
I see what you did there.
ocd is uncurable
I had acute ocd - hospitalised with it - but with immersion therapy, cbt and the support of family and friends I now lead a normal life. Ocd thoughts only an issue if I get run down and tired but after a good sleep no problem. In short you can manage the disorder.
