Mark Andrus (co-screenwriter for <i>As Good as it Gets</i>) suggested to Winkler the rebuilding of a house as both the organizing plot and metaphor of the film. <i>Life as a House</i> is a result of Winkler and Andrus’ collaboration. When George (Kevin Kline) learns that he has only months to live, he decides to use that time to build a house. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
