The eccentric writer Yudell has written 72 romance novels, but in reality he is a single old man who is withdrawn and autistic. He has the gift of making people hate him as soon as he speaks, not a single compliment, only sarcasm.
Simon, a gay painter, has only one friend, a black art dealer, and no other friends in the city of New York. He doesn't have any source of income either, renting a house for painting or something, or relying on the severance pay that his father gave him back then. He stayed at home and painted every day, and when he was bored, he would play with the dog.
Hotel waiter Carol, a single mother, has a son with suspected asthma. Earn money from this menial job as an ER trainee for kids.
It was just such three unlucky people, because they were neighbors, and they often went to restaurants to designate waiters, which produced such a warm movie.
First, Simon was injured by the burglary gang, and his beloved puppy was left unattended, so he had to give it to Udall. Udall, a seemingly ruthless person, actually took good care of the puppy and developed a good relationship with it.
When Carol's son became seriously ill, she had to quit her job in order to find a job near her home so she could take care of her son. This made Udall very uncomfortable, because he was used to Carroll serving him dishes and taking care of his quirks. So he went to Carroll's house to see what was going on. Because of his annoying mouth, of course he was kicked out. Later, he asked the husband of the editor of the publishing house, a senior physician, to treat the Carroll family's children. It cost a lot of money, and he paid it all.
At first, Carol thought that Udall was interested in her beauty, and ran to his house to hurt Udall severely, and said that she would never sleep with him. Udall just spread his hands. That night, Udall fell into deep thought, and in order to win Carol's heart, he decided to be a better man.
After Simon was discharged from the hospital, in order to let him relax and reunite with his parents, Udall planned a trip to Simon's hometown and invited Carol to go with him on the grounds that he could not get along well with others. Carroll hesitated and agreed.
This was a good chance to win Carroll. In the bar, Carroll kissed Udall affectionately after listening to Udall's "best compliment in the world", and was just one step away from success! However, when Carol asked him to dance, he declined because of his cleanliness. Carol left angrily and ran to Simon's room. She took a bath in Simon's room, and Simon, who was lying on the bed, saw her back, felt the beauty, had to paint her, and kept praising how perfect her body was. Carroll was very helpful and stayed with him painting all night.
The next day, when they returned to New York, Carroll rejected Udall's offer and took the bus back alone. Simon moved to Udall's house temporarily because the house he rented was sublet. In the middle of the night, Carol called and told Udall that she didn't want to deal with him anymore because he wasn't ready. Udall was heartbroken and had a heart-to-heart with Simon. Simon told him, don't think about going back to the past life, the past life is not good at all, at least you know who you love, it's much better than him, what you think about now is not to give up, but to muster up the courage and go to the card. The Rolle family explained their intentions to her. Udall hesitated several times, but went to Carroll's house and successfully confessed, this time with his long-prepared praise.
============================================
The movie tells us: praise is important , those who only attack people are destined to be diaosi for life. Love the people around you and help them, not to make them happy, but to make yourself a better and happier person.
