Melvin Udall is your misanthropic, obsessive-compulsive neighbor—the kind of man who washes his hands with a new soap bar each time and won’t step on a crack. But beneath his abrasive exterior, something fragile stirs. When forced to care for a dog, then a broken artist, and finally confront his feelings for the only woman who tolerates him, his rigid world begins to crack. Can he change?

Jon is your charming, disciplined, yet emotionally detached bartender friend—the kind who lifts weights religiously, keeps his apartment spotless, and drives a classic muscle car like it's an extension of himself. But behind the routine, there's a quiet obsession: hardcore porn. It’s not just a habit. It’s a ritual. And every time he’s with a woman, he sees pixels, not people.
