Summary: With Honors - English Review
Review: I know I was supposed to write a summary but that's boring so I'll tell you what I got out of it! Lately I have been told a quote that I thought had no use for my life. It was "don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive". After watching this movie in English, I see where that is true. I might not have gotten the whole message out of this movie, or even what I was supposed to see, but I saw that quote. Monty (a Harvard student) was comsumed with writing his thesis and once he lost it he thought his life was over. After spending time with Simon (a homeless man) in order to get his thesis back, he saw that there was more to life than a thesis. Monty learned not to take life too seriously and enjoy what was around him that he didn't see in the past. Another thing I learned was that in life you have to roll with the punches. Monty had his whole life figured out but as soon as his computer crashed (something as simple as that) his whole plan for his life was out the window. I guess what I can take from this movie (which I thought was really great even though it was kinda old) enjoy the people around you and life, and make the most of life, even in bad times.

Summary: With Honors
Review: When this movie first started, I was a little skeptical. But "With Honors" turned out to be a touching movie about a young college student who learns a great deal about life. The college student Monty (played by Brendan Fraiser) meets a homeless man Simon (played by Joe Pesci), and although they don't exactly hit it off at first, they eventually gain respect for one another as people and become great friends. Simon ends up teaching Monty a lot about life, most importantly that you should enjoy life while you have the chance. Although a predictable movie, it certainly touched my heart, and pointed out the more important things in life.

Summary: Food for the soul...
Review: The human spirit is such a vast yet complex thing that help us understand BReath taking films such as this one! Films like "with honors" come a dime a dozen. Films that show the reality of everyday life and the humanity and everlasting love of a friendship... old or new! It makes you weep of sadness and cry happy tears. Cause we've all experience it. We've all had or known a father who left his son/daughter and we've always hated that figure. Yet we've never known it from their perspective which can be very harsh... This film is eye opening and witty! The plot is ingenius yet heartwarming. With a great cast and great production this film shows the ways of the spirit in many ways. It truly deserves 5 stars. Buy it feed your soul"prince of pop"

Summary: With Honors Review
Review: "With Honors" is one of the best movies that I've seen in a long time. At the beginning Monty is concerned only about himself and his success at Harvard by writing his thesis. However, when he is forced to associate with Simon in order to get his thesis paper back his entire perspective on life changes. This showed me that Monty wasn't as selfish as I thought, because he cared for Simon and did everything for him, including putting his thesis on the back burner. This movie was based on the true value of friendship, and the college students truly accepted Simon for who he was, not based on his outward appearance. Jack was harsh about Simon at first, but finally came around, and realized that you can not always have what you want in life, and it means a lot to others when you treat them as if they are important and with respect. This was a great movie with a wonderful message, one of friendship and deciding what your main priorities are. I would recommend this movie to anyone!

Summary: I shall not have lived in vain...
Review: Before viewing With Honors for myself, I read the movie summary and thought that the plot sounded very cliche. However, I immediately became interested and felt a connection with Monty, the main character. Like Monty, who is writing his senior thesis, I often times use grades and school work to determine my happiness and measure my success. Sometimes I am lucky enough to have someone who opens my eyes to what is really important in life. Simon, a homeless, yet vivacious, man who discovers Monty's lost thesis, serves as this eye opener for Monty. With the help of Monty's roommates and Simon, he discovers that life is not about job titles or the amount of money you make or awards you recieve. This movie sends the poignant message that contentment and true happiness come from the simple, yet awe-inspring, moments of everyday life. We are reminded that our lives are enriched, and we are truly successful, if we help open the eyes of even one person and touch their life.

Summary: what, no baseball bat?
Review: Although I believe that a Joe Pesci movie in which he does not viciously beat someone is bordering sacrelige, WITH HONORS was somewhat commendable. This movie follows a Harvard student (Brenden Fraser) as he loses his thesis and must obey the bidding of a remarkably cultured bum (Joe Pesci) to get it back. Anyone could predict the outcome; the two fall for each other (in a dissapointingly heterosexual way) and-believe it or not-Joe Pesci is revealed to have a critical illness just as the two become close. Though it was a hackneyed plot, this movie delivered a few laughs and also includes a glimpse of Fraser's hot young buns. I would reccomend this movie to anyone who has two hours to spare, and quite frankly, nothing better to do.

Summary: It Was Aight!!
Review: "With Honors" was an okay movie. Initially I was a little skeptical because it started off slow. I like the fact that the video had a moral that affects all students at one point in their lives, because sometimes your friends are more important than school. But in the end it is you who has to make the final decision about what's more important. "With Honors" was a good movie but I was disappointed by the fact that the main and most celebrated character was a complete bum. He was not a success, he was a BUM! Overall the movie was good.
