About Schmidt (the book upon which the movie was based) was written by a truly evil little man, who also happens to be a senior partner at a certain NY firm. Schmidt (the character) was a NY lawyer who retired to the Hamptons, not to a Winnebago. Anyway, this doesn't add anything except my boycott of the movie (didn't want my hard-earned $ going anywhere near that fucker)
