Trailer
With Honors is about a student named Monty (played by Brendan Fraser) at Harvard University. Monty tries to complete his final thesis at the school library, but accidentally loses the original in an accident. Life becomes difficult when he has to find a way to remake the original or not be able to graduate.
By chance, Monty meets Simon Wilder (Joe Pesci), an intelligent and eccentric homeless man. The two became close and made an agreement: Simon would help Monty complete his thesis from the knowledge and thinking of a person versed in everyday life and Monty would help Simon have a better life.
Brendan Fraser's role brings diversity and emotion as he interacts with Joe Pesci, who plays Simon, creating a special relationship between two characters from two different classes. The humor, meaning and message about the importance of learning from those around you make this movie attractive.
