About Schmidt is a funny and dark comedy in which Warren Schmidt retires from his 20+ year career at an insurance company. This event is causing him to reflect on his life and along the road of self-discovery, he finds something new and meaningful in his thoroughly unimpressive life: preventing his daughter from getting married to a underachieving waterbed salesman.
The days before the wedding, Warren is staying with the free-spirited family of his soon-to-be in-laws. While he is sitting in the Jacuzzi by himself, his son-in-Law’s mother comes out of the house naked and joins him in the tub, making Warren feel very uncomfortable.
This scene in the movie reminded me of a third date I had late last year. After getting back from dinner, me and my date were sitting on the couch and sipping some wine. All of a sudden my date got up and said ‘Hey, let’s get in the hot tub!’ As it was supposed to be a dinner date, a bathing suit was not on my list of 'items to bring' for this particular date but soon it became clear that wearing bathing suits was not required.
Needless to say that on that night I got to know my date much better than I could have hoped for.. :)
