Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
ryanrepsher If you haven't seen it, see it. In my opinion each of the actors in this movie gave the best performace of their careers. Fraser and Pesci play great against one another. I watch this movie at least once a year. It really is that good.
Desertman84 With Honors tells a tale about a homeless man who meets a group of Harvard students and this leads to an awkward relationship wherein he becomes their new professor about the real world and life in general. The homeless man is portrayed by Joe Pesci while Brendan Fraser,Moira Kelly,Patrick Dempsey and Josh Hamilton were cast as the students. This film feature was directed by Alek Keshishian,who happens to have a degree from Harvard.This could have been a great film considering that it has a talented cast like Pesci who happens to be an Academy Award winner,it was just too bad that it has a somewhat a simplistic screenplay. It was contrived and clichéd as the viewer could have seen how the relationship with the homeless man and the students would turn out,how the conflicts will be resolved and the conclusion that came to happens to be no surprise at all.Added to that,the cast wasn't able to elevate it due to average performances despite having being talented and the direction was far from being wonderful.
Ramesh The movie reminds me of the good old college days. The up and down times the kids face which actually develops them/prepares them for the future.Well Monty plays an impressive role in bringing out a university student from Harvard that takes in a bum. Both of them exchange ideas and feed off each others energy. Monty learns wisdom and life from the bums perspective and the pesci learns that life is not supposed to quit upon no matter what the situation is.I work in a shipyard, i understand the problems that people encounter when they are exposed to asbestos. Seems like things that you cant see really can hurt you. To make things worst you don't see it with immediate - its a slow killer.The caste is straight out simple, no complicated relationship and issues to tackle. Kind off reminds me of dps, maybe because of the setting. At first glance of pesci in the bums set up, i thought it was robin Williams. Overall an entertaining movie, would recommend to all to have a laid back movie with some hints/tips of life :)... from a fresh perspective.
caljen386 Perhaps if some of our representatives watched this movie, they would gain a little understanding. It is certainly a good movie for the young to watch. It displays a change of heart through an experience that many of us don't receive when we are young.As a Harvard student sets forth to write his assigned term paper, he runs into a homeless man, a self-professed "bum." He loses his term paper to the "bum" who is living in the library basement and the "bum" makes an exchange for each page of his term paper. In the process, the college student learns more about the realities of life.This movie could change your attitude about how you view people on the streets. It could also change your attitude about how you view our president and other representatives.Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You, Cal-el & Black Canary
