About Schmidt (2002) 8/10

Starring : Jack Nicholson, Kathy Bates, Hope Davis, Dermot Mulroney
Director : Alexander Payne
Running Time : 126 mins

Recently retired Warren Schmidt (Nicholson) is faced with the reality that he has lived a worthless life. When his wife dies, he is left to face the concept of his only daughter Jeannie (Davis) getting married to a mulletted loser named Randall Hertzel (Mulroney), and finds himself being brought into the disturbed Hertzel family.

Although this is a very slow movie, there is still a lot to enjoy. Nicholson brings his usual likeable character acting to the fore, with some very good support from the rest of the cast. There are some cringe worthy moments, some emotional moments, and some down right funny moments. Not to be missed.
