About Schmidt (2002)
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Hope Davis, Dermot Mulroney and Kathy Bates Directed by: Alex Payne If only for Kathy Bates' drop jaw steaming topless scene, this film is already a winner. Warren Schmidt lost a loving wife, retired from a job, was about to bring a daughter to the altar and wanted to rediscover himself along the way. The crossroads were enough to break any ordinary man, Schmidt only had a stiff neck and back. He was able to go over the hump - and that's all about Schmidt. Acting from Jack was usual - utterly the best. But the storyline was usual. The direction was not much needed with Nicholson around. The movie was ok and the ending was moving. 2 hours may be too long for you to wait for the ending. You can miss it if you want to. |
