This is the story of everyman Schmidt who retires and finds that he has nothing to live for. Soon after his wife dies and the only person in the world that gave a damn about him is gone. His only daughter is marrying a loser and there is nothing he can do about it. His only hope of making any kind of differance in anyone’s life is when he watches a Save The Child ad on TV and decides to sponser a child. He has money, but it does him little good. He can travel, but just ends up reliving the past as he goes to his daughter’s wedding in a giant moble home his wife wanted.
In short, this character has wasted his life and it looks like he will continue to waste what remains of his life.
I know how he feels as I have wasted a couple of hours of mine watching this dreadful movie.
