I borrowed this fantastic movie from my oldest brother who owns it with many, many other DVD movies. I've watched it last Saturday. Several years before that DVD movie with closed-caption, I couldn't understand what the dialouge between those great actors is saying on TV cable. It's very hard for me to understand.

The Baird School, all boys' boarding school, in this DVD movie was set in the state of New York but the other night, while I am researching this movie in the website of Wikipedia, I just found out it's actually taken at all girls' school named Emma Willard School in Troy, New York. Emma Willard School is a real. I was surprised to learn about it. It's interesting. I didn't know until now. Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell starred in it. Each of those 2 great actors played wonderfully. Chris O'Donnell played a poor Baird School student, Charlie Simms, who won on a scholarship and a nice boy housesitting a blind man who was a former heroic Army soldier, retired U.S. Army Officer Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, played by Al Pacino. That was taken a place during Thanksgiving weekend. The reason Charlie was hired as a housesitter to a blind man on the weekend of Thanksgiving is that Charlie needs a money for a trip back to his homestate, Orgeon, to be with his parents for Christmas. Otherwise, before the Thanksgiving weekend, Charlie has a very big problem at school. He witnessed other boys' prank one night to set up a trick on a headmaster but Charlie won't give out his secret to a headmaster in front of one of stupid boys in the big office of headmaster. I think Charlie is afaird of those stupid boys cuz they would destory his future plans. Charlie don't know how to stand up against those young rich guys. He should do it himself cuz he's grown up. I guess no parents of his taught him how to stand up but it's too late. I figured it out. Anyways, Frank Slade decided he wants to go on a trip to NYC with the help of Charlie. Before coming to NYC, Frank paid as an unexpected, surprised guest to the home of his brother on Thanksgiving Day. His family is embarrassed by Frank's crude behavior during a dinner there.

You should see it for yourself. This movie is the best holiday I've ever watched. I love it. I am recommending this to you. You could watch it during holidays.

Al Pacino won a 1993 Academy Award Best Actor for his performance in that movie, "Scent of a Woman".
