Academia meets street smarts when Monty Kessler (Brendan Fraser), a graduate student struggling to finish his program, is convinced his thesis will have him graduate with honors from Harvard University and finds himself at the mercy of a homeless man's demands when he holds the papers hostage.
A politically correct, vastly sentimental and ultimately insincere saga of the friendship between a kind homeless man, played by Joe Pesci, and a guilt-ridden Harvard student, played byBrendan Frazer.
One of the few films I've ever walked out on. Pesci and Fraser serve up unsympathetic and grating characters.

Do you amuse me, Joe Pesci? No, you do not.

Well meaning drama but oversimplifies a lot and plays the death card too easily.

This movie is predictable from scene one, though that wouldn't be a problem if it had a good script, good performances and solid direction. But it doesn't.
