As quickly as he retires, the cycle of unintended events and circumstances begin to rip all of his facile and delusional ideas about his world and his place in it to shreds. His wife dies, and in so doing leads him to discoveries about her, his best friend, who had been "servicing" the wife in intimate ways for some time, and hiss daughter, all of which force him into a sort of self-examination about himself and all his assumptions that he otherwise might never have recognized. Still, the process as presented here is both tragic and very funny, and he attempts to make some sense out of this madcap set of circumstance, trying to use his old methods of perception that just help at all.
And whether it is in coping with the loss of his wife's death, the realization that he had been systematically cuckolded by his best friend, or the belated recognition that his relationship with his daughter is perfunctory at best, Nicholson uses all of his cinematic presence to enchant us with his responses. Perhaps the most hilarious scenes involve Nicholson trying to understand and cope in some fashion with Kathy bates, playing his new son-in-law to be's mother, an unattached, free-thinking, sensuous, and horny earth Mother of a woman who wants to get down and dirty in the hot tub with the now free and footloose Warren. Needless to say, Ms. Bates comes as close as anyone can to stealing the scenes away from our boy Jack.
In its essence, like the character Nicholson plays in "The Pledge", this is an extended character study which here meaningfully and quite much more humorously examines the life that up until now Schmidt has so scrupulously avoided doing. In this voyage toward the possibility of discovery and growth, Schmidt is not faring so well. Yet the end leaves one hope, and the film is an evocative and thought-provoking way of stirring us into a little look into our own presumptions and way of living. This is a film I can heartily recommend, especially for viewers old enough to see the possibilities our poor Mr. Schmidt is trying so desperately to avert his eyes from. Enjoy!

Il est éblouissant dans cette "comédie" douce amère aussi émouvante que savoureuse.
Omniprésent à l'écran il dessine avec un immense talent le portrait d'un homme qui vient de prendre sa retraite, perdre sa femme avec laquelle il avait vécu plus de 40 ans et s'apercevoir combien se sont distendus ses rapports avec sa fille unique laquelle va bientôt se marier avec un homme qu'il n'aime pas.
Il raconte son road movie par courrier à son très jeune "filleul" africain âgé de 6 ans dont il a fait connaissance au travers d'une émission caritative. A bord de son camping car de luxe il va traverser plusieurs états des Etats-Unis, revenant sur son passé et finir par recommencer une nouvelle vie. La scène finale est de toute beauté.
Un film formidable que vous ne serez pas prêt d'oublier tant il est réaliste, jamais mélodr
