Warren Schmidt (Jack Nicholson) reaches retirement and is supposed to start a new life traveling in a Winnebago with his wife. But the problem is that Schmidt can't quite figure out what he's supposed to do now, and hence who he really is. He ends up spending a lot of time watching television, and gets himself a foster son to whom he writes letters detailing his frustrations. Desperate to get away from the strain of trying to re-adjust, Schmidt takes a road trip to visit his daughter and help her plan her wedding -- but she does not welcome him with open arms. Also with Hope Davis, Dermot Mulroney, Kathy Bates and Howard Hesseman. [2:04]
