About Schmidt Kristin Schrock   Theatre   26 January 2003 Because this was done by the Election guy, I was hoping it would be funnier. Schmidt has retired and sort of realizes that he's been a failure at life. I'm always going to be a fan of those kinds of movies. And I was happy to see the Mayor from Buffy make an appearance, even though he was not evil. Although it did take him a long time to get some beer. Hmmm.

About Schmidt Steve Gadd   Reston Town Center   08 February 2003 Jack Nicholson (who has been on the Brando Diet, by the look of things) tries to deal with the world's lack of need for him after his retirement. Middle America co-stars, with big Nebraska skies, motor homes, and corny roadside attractions. Without Jack it could have been dull, but he turns in a great performance.

About Schmidt Ray Hunley   DVD   15 June 2003 Didn't Sally Struthers star in the original? The best part of the film was the first minute and a half: Schmidt dutifully waits out the final seconds of his last day before retirement, looking stoicly up at the clock among the remnants of his career, boxed up and carefully labeled. After that it was "Warren R. Everyman has some mildly interesting experiences and finds a piddling redemption from an utterly expected source". The characters were somehow spot-on realistic and hackneyed at the same time. I found it hard to care about any of them. Good acting, nice looking film, BFD.
