Editorial Review:
Description:
Armed with a copy of a harvard student's thesis, a homeless man makes the desperate student an offer: in exchange for food and a place to stay during the harsh winter, he will return the thesis one page at a time.
Amazon.com:
Joe Pesci gives his most likable performance to date, elevating this predictable comedy-drama. A stuck-up Harvard senior (Brendan Fraser) believes his life is ruined when an educated bum (Pesci) finds his thesis. The bum wants to trade each page for a favor during a harsh New England winter. Of course, the student learns more from his new friend than from the halls of Harvard. Some silly, melodramatic parts including an unbelievable classroom lecture make this comedy tiring at times. But the cast and dialogue ring truer than the tired plot. A solid first feature from Alek Keshishian (Truth or Dare), who graduated with honors from Harvard. --Doug Thomas

Rating:  - Great all around transaction
This DVD (With Honors) arrived in perfect condition and in a very timely manner. We were more than satisfied. Thank you.
Rating: - This film gets an 'A'!
A homelss man(Joe Pesci) shows college students how to academically score well in this film. Great support from Brendan Fraser(AIRHEADS) and Patrick Dempsey(LOVERBOY,CAN'T BUY ME LOVE and of TV's Grey's Anatomy).
Rating: - DVD With Honors
Arrived on time, did not have a case but this was put under the comments.....love the movie, very smooth transaction!
Rating:  - Write this again...in thirty years
This predictable story attempts to be deep, but never makes it past the shallow end. Pesci's great truths to the youth are simplistic, and presented to the students in uninteresting undramatic ways. The students buy into him...only because the script tells them to. I think even junior college students wouldn't take Pesci or his rantings seriously. It's a nice premise, but the script doesn't have the weight necessary. My guess is that the scripwriter was relatively young, and couldn't be expected ... Read More
Rating:  - A GUILTY PLEASURE
What can I say? I like this movie. I know it is manipulative and contrieved. You know how it's going to end, but it is a very entertaining movie! It does have it's virtues though. A very insiteful film that has a lot more going for it than just another college frathouse flick.
