It's the movie with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. He plays a neurotic guy with OCD. He's very intelligent and writes books. He's wealthy. He is very OCD. Helen Hunt is a waitress in a diner he frequents and they connect in some ways and he helps financially with her son who is very sick. She gets frustrated with him because of his hang-ups and OCD behavior but he is good to her and there's an attraction between them. She makes the comment to her mom "Why can't I just have a NORMAL boyfriend for once ???" Her mom makes it clear that no one is perfect and she's not going to find a NORMAL boyfriend without some issues. He's a good man and interested in HER, so give it a chance, her mom says. So...my point is, I think too many people freak out if their date or spouse has hang-ups or are a little neurotic. Now, it's not good to stay with a NUTJOB but why are people afraid of someone with insecurities or neurotic behavior, as long as it's not harmful. It can be interesting and not BORING.

Great movie! I agree with you 100%. We could all benefit from the message learned from the movie.....and I just "love" Helen Hunt, and Jack Nicholson.

Agreed. That is one of my favorite movies. If you can't see past your own limitations then you are not likely see past someone else's. Is very limiting in many ways. It is a shame.
