*About Shmidt*
About Shmidt is the story of Warren Shmidt, a 66-year old retired employee of an insurrance agency. After a sudden tragic accident he sets out to stop his daughter's wedding to someone he doesn't think worthy. Shmidt is a sad, lonely man. As much as I wanted to like About Shmidt, I just didn't. I heard so many good things about it, but I myself didn't enjoy anything except for Nicholson's wonderful performance. I thought About Shmidt was going to be a comedy or even a dark comedy, but it was just depressing. I can handle a depressing movie like American Beauty or Life is Beautiful, but this was just terrible.
Like I said, Jack Nicholson was very convincing. He gave Shmidt little traits and really deserves praise for his performance. The scenes that featured Kathy Bates were all good, she stole the show. She was the only comedic relief in the whole movie and it was really, really needed.
