With Honors

About This Movie

So, 'With Honors' is this interesting blend of comedy and drama that kind of sneaks up on you. You've got Brendan Fraser as this uptight Harvard student, and honestly, the contrast with Joe Pesci’s homeless character is what drives the film's heart. It's not just about academic pressure; it really dives into themes of life lessons and human connection. The pacing feels relaxed, almost meandering at times, but I think that suits the story. You see Fraser's character evolve and it’s kind of charming watching this stuffy kid learn from someone society overlooks. The performances are genuine, especially Pesci, who brings a depth that’s surprisingly poignant. It's definitely more about character than spectacle, which adds to its unique flavor.
