   "About Schmidt" is a hostility-provoking film for the same reason that American citizens have lost their civil rights. The picture lionizes complacency, inaction, and the privilege of the greedy to steal whatever they covet simply because they are treacherous enough to do it.

   Dec 20, 2002 · “About Schmidt” is essentially a portrait of a man without qualities, baffled by the emotions and needs of others. That Jack Nicholson makes this man so watchable is a tribute not only to his craft, but to his legend: Jack is so unlike Schmidt that his performance generates a certain awe.

   Jack Nicholson plays Warren Schmidt, a 66 year-old retired and widowed insurance man from Omaha. Warren drives his 35-foot Winnebago cross country to foil his daughter's upcoming wedding in this insultingly dim movie based on a novel by Louis Begley, and directed by Alexander Payne.

   Is about Schmidt a comedy?

   • “About Schmidt” is billed as a comedy. It is funny to the degree that Nicholson is funny playing Schmidt, and funny in terms of some of his adventures, but at bottom it is tragic. In a mobile home camp, Schmidt is told by a woman who hardly knows him, “I see inside of you a sad man.”

   Is Schmidt a good character?

   • And Schmidt is a magnificent character. We join him clockwatching in an empty office, as the seconds tick away on his last day in the "insurance game". A buttoned-down drone who once dreamed of entrepreneurial glory, he's irritated by his condescending replacement and can't bear staying at home with his prissy wife.

   Is Eric Schmidt a 'correct and good' person?

   • Schmidt’s “officially correct and good” life has also been one of utter conformity, passivity and emotional detachment. At the conclusion of his career as a white-collar beast of burden, his retirement now seems to be the occasion of his slaughter.

   What reminiscences does Schmidt have about Jeannie?
