it seem ever since 1982 and about every two or three year we get a movie that claim to be the next officer and a gentleman . there have yet to be one movie that have live up to this claim and this movie be no different . we get the usual rip off scene from oaag ( i want you dor and the instructor give the richard gere character his overdose of drill in hope he will quit and the gere character come back for the girl and the gere character realize the instructor be great and etc . ) and this movie be as predictable a the sun rise in the east and be horribly miscast on top . costner play his usual wise teacher character and the only character he can play and and you really get a sense of his limited acting ability here . kutcher be terrible in the richard gere character and just miscast with act skill barely a notch above keanu reef . the main problem with this oaag wannabe be the two main character be so amazingly one dimensional and you never care for either in the least and when kutcher character finally turn around ( just like gere do in oaag ) you just go so what . the movie leave no plot point unturned and seem to never end a if to say oh wait and we forget to close out the girlfriend story and or the what happen after he graduate story and or the other six plot point in the movie . what more baffling be the great review i see here . the general public opinion never cease to amaze me .
