Title: The Poor Man's "Officer and a Gentleman"
Product review: Being a member of the CG Auxiliary I had high hopes for this movie. I was very disappointed. What could have been a good but often told tale of "the old veteran training young upshots" quickly degenerated into a rip-off of the vastly superior "Officer and a Gentleman," right down to the spray-the-young-recruit-with-a-hose scene. The only good things were Kutcher's love interest, and the old lady who owned the bar Costner's character frequents; good actresses. And the ending where Costner's character kills himself made no sense at all. Dumb! Save your money and rent the Richard Gere/Debra winger classic instead.
