Warren
Schmidt (Nicholson) is a man who has been set adrift following his retirement
and the death of his wife. In one fell swoop, everything has disappeared
from his life, and as he looks back on that life it just doesn’t give
him the feeling that he’s achieved anything. Uncertain what to do,
Warren packs up his thirty foot Winnebago and sets out on a journey across
the Nebraska plains to attend his daughter's (Davis) wedding to a waterbed
salesman (Mulroney) that he believes is a “nincompoop”. 
Along
the way, Warren recounts the details of his life in a series of exhaustive
letters to a poor Tanzanian boy that he is sponsoring for 73 cents a day.
And from this narration, we see how Warren’s life has unfolded, in
all its intimate details.Jack Nicholson is fantastic as man who considers everything he has done so far to be a failure and all without resorting to the “Jack” persona that we have seen so many times before.
