Chris
O'Donnell
stars
as
Charlie
Simms,
a
young
and
innocent
scholarship
student
at
an
exclusive
prep
school
in
New
Hampshire
who
agrees
to
look
after
Lt.
Col.
Frank
Slade
(Al
Pacino),
a
blind
retired
army
officer,
to
earn
extra
money
over
the
Thanksgiving
holiday.
Frank
is a
cantankerous
and
cynical
bully
who
completely
suprises
Charlie
with
his
plans
for
their
weekend.
He
has
bought
them
tickets
to
New
York,
booked
a
suite
at
the
Waldorf,
rented
a
limousine,
and
has
big
plans
for
a
wild
weekend
in
the
Big
Apple.
Before
Charlie
realizes
what
he
has
gotten
into,
he
is
accompanying
the
colonel
around
Manhattan
as
they
begin
their
wild
and
eye-opening
adventures
that
include
a
fast-paced
test
drive
in a
Ferrari
and
a
tango
with
a
beautiful
woman
(Gabrielle
Anwar).
Frank's
passion
is
women;
he
waxes
lyrically
on
their
bodies,
scent,
and
sensuality,
and
gradually
Charlie
becomes
aware
of
the
sentimental
romantic
buried
deep
within
the
lonely
man's
heart.
Charlie
and
Frank's
growing
relationship
is
the
core
of
the
film;
Frank
teaches
Charlie
how
to
see,
and
Charlie
teaches
Frank
how
to
feel
in
this
heart-wrenching
and
heartwarming
comedy.
Al
Pacino
is
simply
stunning
as
Frank
Slade,
relying
on
his
vocal
power
and
strong
physicality
to
carry
across
a
complex
range
of
emotions.
He
is
both
intolerable
and
completely
lovable
in
this
Oscar-winning
role
of a
lifetime.
