...Schmidt has what the rest of us have learned to call "issues." His wife, with whom he has settled into a life of hostile boredom, dies suddenly. She leaves him the house trailer in which they planned to embrace a footloose life and evidence that she once had an affair with his best friend. His ill-favored but blindly loved daughter Jeannie (Hope Davis) is about to marry a slippery water-bed salesman (Dermot Mulroney) and be absorbed into his awful family. They are ruled over by a mom (Kathy Bates) who is an overbearing monster of cordiality...

With intelligence and humor Raeburn's writing mixes up the highbrow world of 50-cent terminology with colloquialisms like "idjit," for "idiot." Never dry or academic, he often includes personal anecdotes like the absurd story of his torrid affair with "Peaches," the daughter of drug runner. Then he admits to making it all up. Then he says it's true, mixing up life and art as much as any historieta melodrama. Even the design, also by Raeburn, perfectly mimics the look of a typical historieta, right down the paper stock of cover. The man's commitment is total...
