Fun Night Monday Sepember 18th at 6:00PM - As Good As It Gets






































A magnificent love story. I believe that love is the best of things. If you love and are loved, then you have hope that the world will become a better place. Nicholson is at his very best as a difficult, awkward introvert, plagued with OCD. His world opens up when he meets Carol, a gorgeous woman who is on the South side of a bad marriage. Her joy of life is marred by her ailing little boy who suffers from asthma. Throw in a neighbour who is a rising artist in need, Jack's personality and an adorable little bow-wow dog and you have a delightful mix that very much parallels reality.

It's funny how our lives can sink into ruts that don't seem to lead anywhere, and suddenly that special woman comes along and gives us purpose in life, and gives our lives meaning. This is one of those films that illustrates how awkward we can be despite our aspirations to love and. And, in the end it underlines the essential truth that if you are loved and you love, the world is a pretty special place.
