Joe Pesci is great. Anyone who´s seen him in gangster roles has to acknowledge that. Those who saw "Jimmy Hollywood" will acknowledge him when doing some drama. But in this movie he is just phony. As if the story weren´t bad enough, of a homeless but brilliant intellectual, former seaman, contaminated with asbestos, fond of philosophy who lives in Harvard basement... (I´m not making it up), he speaks in a soft, dramatic voice that sounds really bad. It lacks some anger, some Pesci attitude of a short tempered short guy. Even Leo from Lethal Weapon crying about the death of his pet "Froggy" is better than the genius bum of "With Honors". Watch it if you like Brendan Fraser, but be advised: he never appears without a shirt on.
