About Schmidt

Schmidt Happens

Overview

66-year-old Warren Schmidt is a retired insurance salesman and has no particular plans other than to drive around in the motor home his wife insisted they buy. He's not altogether bitter, but not happy either, as everything his wife does annoys him, and he disapproves of the man his daughter is about to marry. When his wife suddenly dies, he sets out to postpone the imminent marriage of his daughter to a man he doesn't like, while coping with discoveries about his late wife and himself in the process.

I have a habit not to watch the same movie twice, but for movies like this it should be broken. Having seen it years ago, I should watch it again to give an accurate review, though it wouldn’t change the fact that this is an intelligent and comic movie about life. And that it has Jack Nicholson.
