An Officer and a Gentleman

Director: Taylor Hackford
Honors:
Genres:
Distributor: Paramount
Richard Gere plays an enrollee at a Naval officers candidate school, and Debra Winger is the woman who wants him. That’s pretty much it, story-wise, in this romantic drama, which is more effective in a moment-to-moment, scene-by-scene way, where the two stars and Oscar-winner Louis Gossett Jr.—as Gere’s tough-as-nails drill instructor—are fun to watch. Sexy, syrupy, with occasional pitches of high drama (Gere having a near-breakdown during training is pretty strong), An Officer and a Gentleman proves to be a no-brainer date movie. —Tom Keogh
