About Schmidt
In this dark comedy-drama, 65-year-old insurance executive Warren Schmidt (Jack Nicholson) begins to ponder the meaninglessness of his life. When his wife of 42 years unexpectedly dies, Warren is undone. Determined to make a difference in someone’s life, he sponsors a six-year-old African orphan by sending him $22 each month. Warren writes the boy long, detailed letters about his innermost thoughts. He takes a road trip to visit his cold, indifferent daughter Jeannie (Hope Davis) and is devastated by her intention to marry Randall (Dermot Mulroney), a boring waterbed salesman. His anxiety escalates when he meets her raunchy, future mother-in-law Roberta (Kathy Bates).
