Review of With Honors (1994) by Frances H — 26 Jun 2014
How can a film score only a 17%, when 74% of the audience liked it? Whenever a film has something positive to say, the critics consider it "cliched" and mawkish, whereas if the whole film is bleak and depressing with a story about characters nobody would ever want to meet in real life because they don't have a single good or admirable quality, then the critics love it.
This film, which was based on a true story, although probably MUCH glamorized, showed that human beings, even snobby kids at Harvard, have heart and sympathy, and that even homeless bums can teach them a thing or two about life.
What is wrong with that? It's something to aspire to, or as the Harvard professor would say, "Something to which to aspire." (Can't end with a preposition,! Horrors!).
