Overview

From the makers of the critically praised Election comes About Schmidt, which tells the story of Warren Schmidt (Jack Nicholson), a 67-year-old Omaha, Neb., insurance actuary. Upon his retirement, he reassesses his life, wondering whether his job, marriage, and family life were ever what he had hoped. Warren's daughter (Hope Davis) barely speaks to him, lives in Denver, and is set to marry a man (Dermot Mulroney) he disapproves of. When tragedy strikes, Warren takes a cross-country trip to stop the marriage and find meaning in his own life.
