First film of the year, and it's a 10 year old! One of my colleagues is particularly interested in modern (like, now) film; I'm not so focused though, and will watch anything 'good'. This DVD one of a trailer-load acquired from the late lamented Shantalla Movie House in Galway when it closed in Summer 2009 and sold off its stock. It was in its day the best DVD rental in Ireland (outside of Dublin) and the source of many, many gems.
Jack Nicholson plays the titular rôle as a recent retiree, there's some humour (cf Mr Schmidt's facial expressions) as his retirement takes a few slightly unexpected turns. It's a likeable, funny, articulate film with strong performances, and a good start to the new season.
