Puzzles me so many people say 'About Schmidt' is an underrated movie. It was a stonking commercial and critical success, making $150 million on a $30 million budget, and winning the approval of even the toughest critics. It did well at awards season too. It's lead actors Jack Nicholson and Kathy Bates were both Oscar nominated, and Nicholson and the screenplay won Golden Globes. Every movie would love to be so 'underrated'!
About Schmidt was so moving, the writing was amazing and it proved you have room for older actors to tell a story that resonates with everyone! I’m old enough to be Jack’s great granddaughter and I cried and laughed watching this movie while contemplating my own life experiences with loss, starting over, having adventures I never allowed myself to experience. This is a gem, Jack is a gem and I will cherish his work forever.
Jack Nicholson is one of those special movie actors, who is way more fascinating and charismatic as himself, than in any big screen role he's played. I think they call it a STAR.
I think 'About Schmidt' is Nicholson's best movie. It is about an old man in the autumn of his life on a road trip to his daughter wedding. It has so many good parts, including some embarrassing moments which every human experiences now and then. I would highly recommend it.
I saw it once and remember it being very boring. Certainly not on the level of The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Chinatown, or possibly even The Witches of Eastwick or Batman. Since then I've become a big Payne fan though, so it's time to give it another shot.
Certainly a contender. That, The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Five Easy Pieces, As Good As It Gets, Batman, Chinatown, and The Last Detail are his best performances.
jack is impossible. he's become almost like a cartoon, a caricature. ask anyone you know to do an impression of jack nicholson and they'll give it a go. but he still manages to turn out great, subtly nuanced performances.
actually i don't think so. The movie is simply breath taking. You get captured the minute it starts, and you are being let in in a world that some could relate to in real life. The movie has so many messages, and it is truly an inspiration for me.
Such an underrated performance. Brody was great in The Pianist too so I understand the Oscar snub but that would've been such a great capper for Jack's career
I love how the director of the broadcast cut back frequently to co-star Kathy Bates. Her happiness, support, and pride four Jack's win is so contagious and heart-wrenching, and you can just see the tears coming, and Jack's acknowledgment of her (as well as a hilarious remark about how crazy her character was) and her reaction to Jack's acknowledgment is just the cherry on top. If Jack couldn't win the Oscar for About Schmidt, then the Golden Globe was the next best thing. Also, Jack was right, Nicole Kidman did look gorgeous, especially with her own nose. I miss seeing this man in movies, yet at the same time, you can't blame him. Yes, he is old, but also, films today are often nothing but trash. Very rarely can actors and actresses show their real talent anymore.
This guy just lives in his own little world and all the clouds are happy there, and the trees are happy too and its just population one, Jack Nicholson.
I was shocked at how great About Schmidt was. I know Nicholson is one of the best actors ever, but I had no clue it would be at the same level as Five Easy Pieces and Chinatown.
Jack Nicholson is the only guy who doesn't make boring award speeches. A very sharp guy
One of the greatest actor ever jack Nicholson
You are gorgeous.
"About Schmidt" was underrated and largely unappreciated, but the movie really spoke to me. It is one of my favorites Nicholson movies!

I couldn't agree more! We all make the difference in someone else's life!.
Same.
His acting towered. Great movie.
When you hear Nicholson speak, you get a real sense of just how great an actor he is. So quiet in reality.
Absolutely
He took a Valium tonight.
@@titusmccarthy Try going on national tv yourself without doing that. Seriously, good luck ;)
Love Jack Nicholson. One of the best actors of all times.
I love Jack Nicholson's humour style, he cracks me up with the simplest of things.
I love Jack Nicholson. my most favorite actor.
Jack is and remains one of The greatest actor in The World.
Ever heard of Marlon Brando
He is one of a kind. His award winning speeches are also memorable.
Jack, I MISS YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He talks in such a calm tone.
Of course...Thanks Valium 😌
@@Juanjo-Quetzal - Its not the Valium. He always talks like that. Calm & Cool 😎”
'Doesn't nicole look great with her old nose?' 😂
Snazzy M i don’t get him , can you please explain why he said that?
@@rebeccalogan2938 She had just made "The Hours" starring as Virginia Woolf, wearing a prosthetic nose.
@@lemorab1 And... I think long before the hours she had her nose done. Anyway she's a amazing.
hahaha that's Jack for you, speaking of her old nose,,,,his old nose has been sniffin' out the ladies coming and going for ages.
Jack Nicholson is one of the best actor and his movies will stay forever!
About Schmidt is such an underrated movie. I rarely come across anyone that's seen it when I bring it up or reference it.
The ending. Never seen Jack Nicholson like that before.
Jack... YOU are the best actor, ...youve ALWAYS been the best actor...
one of the coolest guy alive
Juan José Hernando The coolest
“I took a Valium tonight” 🤣
Kathy Bates gave him a Percodan in the movie LOL
@@YGardenRose - He got stoned out of his face from that Percodan. That was Great 😵💫🥴”
One yr. later and I still love Jack. Wonderful actor.

Jack Nicholson was great in everything he did and he has two oscars to prove it.
He won 3 Oscars
2:15 "...I know the evening is getting short...I took a Valium tonight" I want to marry him.
The best one,ever!
My favorite actor!!!! :D
Jack is da best ever
One Of The Most Gangster Actors To Ever Live
I love how when Nicholson got up he’s just like “welp I gotta go say a few words.. again”
best actor ever!
This guy just lives in his own little world and all the clouds are happy there, and the trees are happy too and its just population one, Jack Nicholson.
I love Kathy Bates
That makes TWO of us - I so love that woman, she's an awesome actress!
Charles H yes she was she is such a awesome and a good actress
She's turrific!
She’s a Cadillac just like Nicholson.
Omg me too. Kathy Bates is magnificent
2:19 "Dayuuumm..."
He sure has a a lot of class.
There was always something about that Dick Clack production's name and logo that had a perfect match together.
I LOVE YOU JACK
Leo when he was still young Leo 😍
jack i love u
Wow actors/actresses were young then. Time flies
Except Jack
super different from when he won the award to one flew over the coocoos nest! but he is still one of my favorite actors!
Great short list!
0:38 The terminator is clapping with one hand ! Coollll :D
The best actor ever. Respect!
Check out Nicole's father Anthony Kidman.
That's the line that made me watch it.
The self proclaimed coolest guy in the room
I love that Bates lady
Me too. Such a good actress Kathy Bates
0:28 Not me, not me.. fuck again! wtf with this people - but Nicole ;) still worth to be here
Ty
Should’ve won the Oscar.
"I took a valium tonight!" Kkkkkkk
I didn't really see that film with Jack Nicolson, but I'd recommend the Pianist by the way.. :)
Jack Nicholson. Nicole Kidman. DeCaprio. Michael Caine. Daniel Day Lewis. Kathy Bates. Goldie Hahn. ..
Anyone can tell me what he's saying about Nicole at the beginning, I can't hear it properly :) (being French) , thank you very much !
***** No he's not. He's referring to her role in The Hours in which she had a prosthetic nose. Why did you decide to make up the "nose job" story?
chodekicker Indeed that makes more sense :) I forgot it was the year of the Hours. Thank you !
I was shocked at how great About Schmidt was. I know Nicholson is one of the best actors ever, but I had no clue it would be at the same level as Five Easy Pieces and Chinatown.
Hell yeah!
He is the best american actor that has ever lived.
of course he get after the ending that was very emotional
I couldn't have said it better. (: Jack Nicholson is a motherfuckin' legend!
hes so good but when he plays the shinning haah i miss that part lol HERRES JOHNNY
Sad movie excellent performance
“Nicole looks nice with her old nose”
I’m assuming that’s a reference to “The hours” with the nose prosthetic
Jack IS Warren Schmidt!
I love you Jack!! ❤😘
Meanwhile, the captions:
"Leonardo DiCaprio Catch Peter Pan"

kathy bates at 2:00 looks gorgeous
my favourite actor, what a fucking ledgend!
Jak te amamos en México
Can somebody explain what he said he has taken? 'Valium' - what is it?
It is a little, white pill, used for 'calming down'.
He’s right. It was a comedy.
Just saw one flew over the cc nest and remember why he is my fav
