In the movie As Good as it Gets, Jack Nicholson portrays Melvin Udall, a misanthropic, yet eccentric, author with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Throughout the film, Melvin engages in ritualistic behaviors (i.e., compulsions) that disrupt his interpersonal and professional life.

There is rarely any element of randomness associated with the plot. However, that was where The Pledge really shined.

My first reaction on anxiety disorders based on the film “As Good as it Gets” is the character that Jack Nicholson plays who is Melvin Udall. One of the first features of his behavior that caught my eye was his rudeness to other individuals as if it was the most important thing in the world to him.
