About Schmidt (DVD)

Oscar winner Jack Nicholson stars as Warren Schmidt, an embittered man who has just retired after 32 years as an insurance company actuary. When his wife dies suddenly, Warren packs up the 35-foot Winnebago that he and his wife had planned to travel the country in and sets out on a journey across the Nebraska plains to Denver, Colorado, for his daughter's (Hope Davis) wedding to a waterbed salesman (Dermot Mulroney), whom Warren despises. Every move Warren makes seems wrong, and he appears destined to end his life as he lived it: a failure. But along the way, Warren recounts his journey to and shares his observations with an unexpected friend--a poor Tanzanian orphan whom Warren is sponsoring for 73 cents a day. In his long letters to the boy, Warren begins to see himself--and the life he has lived--in a new light.Globe Award Winner for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture.

Another Excellent Character Study By Our Mr. Nicholson!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2003

Verified Purchase

Lately Jack Nicholson seems to be developing a penchant for examining and exploring what the process of growing older means, and what the pitfalls and life-experiences associated with the process are likely to be. A few years ago, in a film noire about a retiring police detective entitled "The Pledge", Nicholson played an obsessive career detective whose life was his job, and his inability to let go leads to dismal results all around in a cycle of self-destructive behavior that is both tragic and yet avoidable, were he only to change his perceptions and let go of his obsessions. Here Nicholson take son the role of feckless Warren Schmidt, a self-absorbed executive of an insurance firm who plans to reach for the gusto of retirement and yet has such unrealistic ideas about what it portends that he has no clue what lies before him.
As quickly as he retires, the cycle of unintended events and circumstances begin to rip all of his facile and delusional ideas about his world and his place in it to shreds. His wife dies, and in so doing leads him to discoveries about her, his best friend, who had been "servicing" the wife in intimate ways for some time, and hiss daughter, all of which force him into a sort of self-examination about himself and all his assumptions that he otherwise might never have recognized. Still, the process as presented here is both tragic and very funny, and he attempts to make some sense out of this madcap set of circumstance, trying to use his old methods of perception that just help at all.
And whether it is in coping with the loss of his wife's death, the realization that he had been systematically cuckolded by his best friend, or the belated recognition that his relationship with his daughter is perfunctory at best, Nicholson uses all of his cinematic presence to enchant us with his responses. Perhaps the most hilarious scenes involve Nicholson trying to understand and cope in some fashion with Kathy bates, playing his new son-in-law to be's mother, an unattached, free-thinking, sensuous, and horny earth Mother of a woman who wants to get down and dirty in the hot tub with the now free and footloose Warren. Needless to say, Ms. Bates comes as close as anyone can to stealing the scenes away from our boy Jack.
In its essence, like the character Nicholson plays in "The Pledge", this is an extended character study which here meaningfully and quite much more humorously examines the life that up until now Schmidt has so scrupulously avoided doing. In this voyage toward the possibility of discovery and growth, Schmidt is not faring so well. Yet the end leaves one hope, and the film is an evocative and thought-provoking way of stirring us into a little look into our own presumptions and way of living. This is a film I can heartily recommend, especially for viewers old enough to see the possibilities our poor Mr. Schmidt is trying so desperately to avert his eyes from. Enjoy!

A great film

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024

Verified Purchase

This takes a deeply affectionate look at the life of a retiree who is forced to reevaluate his life after his retirement reveals the irrelevance of his job, his wife's death reveals her affair with his best friend, and his daughter's engagement with a loser reveals his failure as a father. Very funny with cold blandness around the edges. What's best is Nicholson's unusual performance as a boring, ordinary, middle-aged man. He hides his typical sly, sleazy, sardonic persona beneath the skin of a man who has never lived, never taken risks, and never felt anything real. The weakest part of the movie the scene involving the couple in the RV park. Hardly any of it is plausible. Otherwise, it's a great film. Kathy Bates is fantastic, and a little scary.

Heartfelt semi-dramatic family story

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023

We like About Schmidt and have watched it more than once. It's a tale of a man coming to grips with retirement, losing a spouse, and trying to connect with an estranged daughter whose choices he tries to control. Know that although it doesn't have swearing, smoking or drug use it does have adult themes and a nude scene.

It’s a classic and an older person’s look at life from an RV lone wolf trip. I think it’s a great movie but can say no more. Cathy Bates is ultra funny! Jack is just a great actor.

Go ahead, bring on the arrows ...

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2007

Verified Purchase

I bought this movie after having read the glowing reviews ... and to some extent cannot say that they were entirely wrong. Jack immerses himself in the part and gives a good impression of a man living out his final years by trying to get in touch with himself. I would say that it is an excellent character study.

I personally did not care much for the film story, though. Although the story flows well, I found it depressing, moody and without much entertainment value. Where there is humor it is of the dark sort. I realize this is my personal take on the film, but then ... that's what this review is. You may not agree with it - that's your privilege.

The theme is one of social reality; this is the "success story" of most middle class Americans. Successful marriage, successful career with retirement, nice home, no financial worries. And what does it mean? Nothing at all because the inner human being is unsatisfied. We find (something I've known for years) that it is not what one does that causes regret late in life, but what one has failed to do. Schmidt has all the American trappings of success, but finds they are empty and without meaning. His wife is shrewish and dies shortly after he retires. He could care less about his comfortable house (to the extent that he abandons it and takes off in a motor home), his former employer has pensioned him off and does not want the value of his experience or advice. His friends turn out to be hollow. His daughter (whom he cherishes) seems put out by his attempts to visit and only really cares about the checks he regularly sends her. Schmidt realizes that when he dies, no one will remember him but briefly.

Quality of the dvd is good, though unremarkable. We have become used to the amazing quality of today's technology and generally only comment when the transfer is lacking in spite of it.

Of the extras ... very much set in the mood of the movie. They consist primarily of various versions of the opening theme (a lukewarm tune in any event) and various views of "Woodmen of the World" insurance company headquarters in Omaha. Not very inspiring or interesting. I would have preferred an interview with Jack on his feelings about the part he played so well.

With all this, why the three stars? Why not less? Because I do feel that the acting was good and the film well put together .. even if I didn't particularly care for it. I would say that if you are a JN fan, you'll want this. Otherwise, you'll probably be disappointed. On the plus side, you can usually find a copy for a couple of bucks .. so not much is lost if you don't like the film.

***Recommended as a rental only***

Monsieur Jack Nicholson - un film brillant, un grand acteur au sommet de son art -

Reviewed in France on November 20, 2018

Jamais Jack Nicholson n'a été aussi sobre ni aussi vrai que dans ce film réalisé en 2003 par Alexander Payne.
Il est éblouissant dans cette "comédie" douce amère aussi émouvante que savoureuse.
Omniprésent à l'écran il dessine avec un immense talent le portrait d'un homme qui vient de prendre sa retraite, perdre sa femme avec laquelle il avait vécu plus de 40 ans et s'apercevoir combien se sont distendus ses rapports avec sa fille unique laquelle va bientôt se marier avec un homme qu'il n'aime pas.
Il raconte son road movie par courrier à son très jeune "filleul" africain âgé de 6 ans dont il a fait connaissance au travers d'une émission caritative. A bord de son camping car de luxe il va traverser plusieurs états des Etats-Unis, revenant sur son passé et finir par recommencer une nouvelle vie. La scène finale est de toute beauté.
Un film formidable que vous ne serez pas prêt d'oublier tant il est réaliste, jamais mélodr

Reviewed in Canada on March 30, 2013

This film is really wonderful in so many ways well directed acted and put together scene by scene and it is very long and surprising for a film dealing with this topic never drags. It flows like the lead Nicholson character who is in almost every scene..all over..and everyone is scene as they relate to him..and at the end of the film we get asense of him too much of him and no one else and thats why its called...SCHMIDT! It works wonderfully since the lead is so good in this role and has mastered it I cant think of anyone surpassing this performance..and thats why the film works he has us under his spell. Here we have a character who's wife has died and he being a cuckold by a friend..does it get any worse?..and although he has a good attitude we are told he finds everyone else does not..and it doesnt seem to bother them, as a matter of fact nothing seems to bother them that much..and Schmidt seems all too sad about life..there's an old idea here which reads like an old play in which we try to find out whethter a character has an inner disposition to being sad or is spiritual..and what is Schmidt..and can we actually separate it from him or in him and is this often diagnosed as depression...or years ago melancholy or more accurately dolorism? Rather than showing us flashback after flashback like an old film..and the subject is the character's relation to a dead wife, who appears like a ghost haunting him from room to room, we learn of her through his relation with his wife and all the characters he meets..and they all sense his sadness but dont exactly reciprocate..strangely, is his sadness an accurate view of how life really is and the others..and I must say a great script by this writer showing how the character has the intelligence to mature thinking his way through life and then emotionally developing himself in a deep way..but this is the character's search..volition or strong will..as the character has to maintain himself with these assorted characters..to the others he appears positive but they wonder if he is sad..but they dontreally care? Modern telling and excellently scripted and paced of an old kind of tale as we learn about a dead person through the relations of the lead character in conversations without really seeing her just as in a blurry reflection..rather than how she really is..one bad slip was the marriage scene with the daughter, and the writer wants to talk of modern love through a young couple and the daughter's spouse is supposed to be in love but appears childishly in a marriage scene blatantly narcissistic, it seems forced and overlong and I dont know if he is serious or parodying young people's inability to love? As i said intelligent script..near the end at a scene the strong arrive..at a historical scene..a plaque..to the strong?..Is that a joke? Strong can be ruthless can they be brave..a theme of this film..the movie ends as it began on a sad note from a letter from a group of nuns..a personal note..someone from a past time behaving in a decent way..a religious..through a letter..now what does that mean?
