& i made a stupid mistake when i posted this thread. the movie i returned was "somethig's gotta give" (with jack nicholson--who doesn't have a dog) but i do own "as good as it gets" (with the dog!)

duh. i haven't watched "as good as it gets" for a long time--simply because it is not light-hearted enough (i find a couple parts too intense)
