About Schmidt (2002)

With movies about wars, action heroes out to save the world, exacting vengeance upon evil, it’s refreshing to see a movie that focuses only on the foibles of one man: Warren Schmidt (Jack Nicholson). His inner dialogue is expressed through letters to a foster child in Africa, Ndugo, which he sponsors. In that way, we get to see every thought that enters his head as we focus on the inner trials of his life as a new retiree. EW KATHY BATES LEAVE YOUR SHIRT ON EW! This format, although rather uneventful, works very well with Nicholson in the lead.
