About Schmidt
2002
***½
Director: Alexander Payne
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Hope Davis, Kathy Bates, Dermot Mulroney
Warren Schmidt, a recently retired widower goes on a road trip to make sure that his life has not been in vain. Jack Nicholson is excellent in the unglamorous leading role, but the film is definitely about Schmidt, as most of the supporting characters are just caricatures.
