One of the first things I do when I write reviews is go through the 1 stars to see the petty things people are complaining about... you know, so I can roll my eyes and mock them. But there, as of writing this, are no 1 star reviews. That should tell you something. It SHOULD tell you that, at it's worst, "With Honors" is at least a fun and enjoyable film. And it totally is. Unfortunately all it probably means, in reality, is that the "we can't enjoy anything ever and everything is literal and has to be realistic crowd probably hasn't hit it yet." Oh well. The fact is that it is a fun and enjoyable movie that is filled to the brim with cliches that come with fun and enjoyable movies like this, coupled with a sense of humor that comes out of the blue every now and again to give it a unique feel all too it's own.
