A very depressing movie about a man who's life which was centered around his work and collapses when he has to retire. That the film is as believable as it is, is owned mainly to Nicholson's outstanding performance.

Beautiful film. Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors and this is another one of his great performances. In About Schmidt he has a fantastic emotional and sad performance. The last scene is just beautifully emotional. Alexander Payne is always capable of doing films with realistic stories where you can feel all of the emotions that each one of the characters wants to transmit.
