Review of With Honors

With Honors (1994)
2/10
Intersting concept, but poorly done movie
26 April 2000
Bad movie wrongly casts Joe Pesci as a bum living under a library at Harvard where he takes Brendan Fraser's senior thesis and holds it ransom in exchange for food and shelter from Fraser and his friends. Of course the plot is incredibly contrived, Pesci's character is very unsympathetic and makes it very obvious that he has let petty things rule his life. Fraser and friends are incredibly underdeveloped as characters and one wonders why they keep Pesci around. The biggest problem with this movie is Pesci, he is completely miscast and makes you wonder if the movie could have been better with a different actor in the part. Of course the biggest question is at a school as prestigious and select as Harvard how can Pesci live under the library with no one finding out?
