Another smashing performance from Jack Nicholson. He plays Warren Schmidt, a retired insurance worker and a very successful man. But really, Warren is a sad and lonely man. When he wife dies suddenly, he takes to the road in his 35ft trailer exploring his roots and re-entering his past. Hope Davis plays his daughter Jeanie in the movie and a very good actress she is too. When I first watched this movie I thought of it as the sort of film that you'd watch once or twice maybe a year, something like that. But I have watched it quite a bit over the last few weeks. It's a positive film about real people, and people whom we can all relate to. It also carries a very positive message about life, love and relationships. Look out for Kathy Bates as Jeanie's fiancé's sex crazed mom. **** out of *****
