Movie Reviews of Renaissance Man

Movie Review: What Fun and Instructive
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm not a huge fan of comedies, nor do I particularly care to watch Danny DeVito movies, but Renaissance Man is really good. It has a wonderful story, is well acted, and it is very motivational. RM sheds a positive light on the values of motivational instruction. DeVito portrays a down on his luck ad man who needs motivation of his own. He takes a job a basic training base and is given a handful of troops to prepare for the basics of basic. The movie is as much about his need for inspiration as it is about the troops whom he inspires. He uses Shakespeare to motivate his troops, and it works marvelously. Great story, very good acting, and inspirational. Highly recommended.

Movie Review: Great Classic Comedy Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Renaissance Man is the story of an advertising executive played by Danny DeVito who is down on his luck. After losing his job unemployment assigns him to be a teacher of "stupid" army recruits. Renaissance Man is a classic movie with a great story line and a star studded cast. A very young Matt Daemon plays one of the army recruits and other recruits turn out to be larger movie stars in years to come as well. This movie is very well done, very funny and very tasteful. If you have never seen this movie I recommend you give it a viewing, if you already have seen the movie, watch it again. Its worth your time.

Movie Review: Renaissance Man
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie, Renaissance Man, is an entertaining movie that actually makes the Shakespeare Play, Hamlet, interesting. Danny DeVito is funny as a man who has to take a job teaching the "stupid" recruits and, through the use of his literary love of Shakespeare, is able to inspire them to "be all they can be". Not meant to be an epic movie or life-changing, it's just the kind of movie I like; just right for an evening in with family and a bag of popcorn.

Movie Review: Above average and more sensible than you think
Summary: 4 Stars

Yes, there really are English teachers in the Army. My sister-in-law was a civilian hired to improve the writing and reading of GIs who needed extra help. This is a very funny movie and Danny Devito makes it worth watching. It takes the right teacher to make Shakespeare worth reading. I'd have paid a lot more attention in English class if I had a teacher like him!

Movie Review: Devito Classic
Summary: 4 Stars

This is one of Danny DeVito best movies ever, it just shows you can put him in any style comedy movie and it will be funny. This and Major Payne are to very funny movies that have a military theme to them. So if you have enjoyed any movie with DeVito in it but have not seen this yet I suggest you see it
