536.0. "With Honors" by 36058::CARROLLJ (Gilligan! Drop those coconuts!!) Sat Apr 30 1994 14:25

    
    I saw this film last night in Nashua
    
    	It stars Joe Pesci as a homeless man who takes shelter in a Harvard
    library ( it was fun to see alot of familiar Boston/Cambridge landmarks
    in the background ).  Brendan Fraser is a senior working on his thesis,
    and various events cause the two men to become closer ( I'm trying not
    to give much away, here ).
    
    	It's a good movie ( I give it *** out of **** ) - a little
    predictable, but some interesting dialogue, well defined characters and
    a pet rooster ( best line - "My cock is cleaner than your bum!" ).

    Interestingly enough, most of the filming was done in a college in the
    mid-west and not in Boston.  Brendan Fraser and the woman star in the
    movie (I always forget her name, she was in Cutting Edge) were in
    Boston on a local radio station and they said that Harvard would not
    let them film in the library, so they went out West where the college's
    library is similar to the one at Harvard.  (I also forget which college
    it was.
    
    FWIW,

    This movie was one the best movies of the year.  Heart-warming drama
    that is a must see.  Emotional rollercoaster.
