About Schmidt (2002)Directed by Alexander Payne, rated R, 125 minutes
About Schmidt is a melancholy and dryly humorous film about an aging man whose life falls apart after retiring, so he decides to travel to all the important places from his life on a trip to see his daughter's wedding. Jack Nicholson creates a bitterly sad, and yet comical portrayal of a depressed old man, and Kathy Bates is wonderfully cooky. The humor is very subtle, but the film has many funny moments, and though the story is dismal, the end is truly inspiring. About Schmidt is a realistic and enriching
character study with smart humor and a great story. You'll like it if: You like character studies, movies about getting old, Jack Nicholson, American Beauty, Sideways or Election.
