Schmidt replaces Smith as everyman moniker. 'About Schmidt'

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: The best (recent) movie you'll never want to watch again.
Review:

Somewhere around the mid-90s, Jack Nicholson started down a brilliant road. A road, unfortunately, that several other 'older' actors are not on (most notably, Robert DeNiro, and Al Pacino). That road, which gave us such movies/performances...

About Schmidt - Work Sucks, Then You Retire. And That Sucks Worse.

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: You can save the Bottom Line for only 72 cents a day!
Review: Every time I see that a new movie starring Jack Nicholson is coming out I have the exact same reaction. I simply cannot believe that he'll be anyone but Jack Nicholson. How can someone with that kind of off screen presence and history do anything at...

Alexander Payne?s ABOUT SCHMIDT (2002)

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: This movie is a cautionary tale, but with extremely good performances. One thing for sure, you don't want to be another Schmidt.
Review: This is one of those movies that has to grow on you a bit, to appreciate . I admit my first viewing left me wondering why I had watched it. It was about Schmidt, about loneliness, about alienation and about 2 hours long. It was about nothing...

Schmidt Happens...And Happens And Happens And...

Date of Review:  Jul 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Rated R for brief female nudity.
Review: Now don't start thinking that About Schmidt is an action movie, or even a comedy. Jack Nicholson plays a 66-year old newly retired and too soon also widowed man in Omaha NE who wakes up to the fact that he's let life slip by without appreciating it...

Who The Hell is This Old Woman Living in My House?

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: "About Schmidt" is a harrowing, offbeat film from Alexander Payne featuring Jack Nicholson as a crusty old fart. (4.5 out of 5).
Review: One of the most enduring and influential actors to grace the silver screen, Jack Nicholson gave moviegoers roles anyone can remember. Whether it's a werewolf, a joker, a sailor, a drunk, or all sorts of crazy guys. After winning the Oscar for Best...

About Slow

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: Watching About Schmidt is like getting braces put on your teeth, slow a bit painful, and a little comedic.
Review: From director Alexander Pain, err…I mean Payne (Election, writer of Jurassic Park III) comes About Schmidt a movie of slow complexity, slow delivery, slow action, slow comedy, and, well…you get the point.

Warren Schmidt/Jack...

About Schmidt is a boring waste of time

Date of Review:  May 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: Why would anyone want to see a movie about somebody like this?
Review: About Schmidt is a movie about the misadventures of a sad old man played by Jack Nicholson. It is written and directed by Alexander Payne, who just recently gave us Sideways. I did not like this movie at all. My parents saw it in the theater and...

A Review About About Schmidt

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: is a miserable old man.
Review: About Schmidt is surprisingly tense, given how subtle it is. During the film's climax, I felt my shoulders getting tight, and my jaw clenching. My eyes were fixed on the screen, waiting for Warren R. Schmidt's (Jack Nicholson) rapturous words...

About Schmidt - the trailer promises a comedy.

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: Payne has some mishaps in his career, but this film, and prior gems ( "Election", "Citizen Ruth") should keep him in the public eye. Nicholson? He's a god.
Review: The movie defies definition. Is it a depressing comedy, or a dramatic coming of age film, with comedic touches?
One thing is for certain. You will LOVE it. Or, you will HATE it. I guess that's two things.

Pushed into retirement by the...

The Schmidt Hits The Fan: Alexander Payne's problematic About Schmidt

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2003
The Bottom Line: 3.5 stars for effort.
Review: When did Jack Nicholson get so old? I watched Easy Rider and About Schmidt within a few weeks of each other, and I could not believe that this was Jack. Could Randle McMurphy/Jack Torrance/Jake Gittes really have turned into this paunchy old guy?...
