If you loved Terms of Endearment, try As Good as It Gets

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by James L. Brooks, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Terms of Endearment, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What As Good as It Gets is

New York City, winter, a typewriter clacking. A waitress rushes, an artist paints, a writer scowls, their lives intersecting in unexpected ways. Brooks directs a nuanced exploration of human connection.
