Editorial Review:
Richard Gere plays an enrollee at a Naval officers candidate school, and Debra Winger is the woman who wants him. That's pretty much it, story-wise, in this romantic drama, which is more effective in a moment-to-moment, scene-by-scene way, where the two stars and Oscar-winner Louis Gossett Jr.--as Gere's tough-as-nails drill instructor--are fun to watch. Sexy, syrupy, with occasional pitches of high drama (Gere having a near-breakdown during training is pretty strong), An Officer and a Gentleman proves to be a no-brainer date movie. --Tom Keogh

can love overcome a troubled and loveless background? Can a cold heart have the ice melt away? Well,this movie was fascinating and I loved richard gere's character and how he was able to rise above his past to become something better.
Rating: - Eagles Fly from Mountains High: A Powerful Journey
This film is a classic and viscerally honest portrayal of human conflict and personal growth. It clearly depicts working class young adults who sought to break away from past barriers and limitations and build better lives for themselves. It is a coming of age story, where a full spectrum of feelings are explored as young adults learn about fulfilling their potential, building value systems and attempting to fulfill personal desires with honesty and integrity on many levels. Two hot young stars were ... Read More
Rating: - After years - a really good movie
I first saw this movie years ago when I had a terrible crush on Richard Gere (what a hunk). I recently bought this for "old time sake", watched it again (years later), what a great movie. Richard Gere is a superb actor, so is Deborah Winger. A love story with true grit - more real than most stories I have seen. The one part that everyone seems to love is Deborah standing by the jukebox, desperately trying to act like she is not interested in Gere - was that great acting or what? In the interviews ...

Rating: - An "Uplifting" Movie
Richard Gere stars in this refreshing movie about romance, friendship, and growth.
Gere stars as Zack Mayo, a rebellious loner who decides to enter the Navy's flight training program. Suffering from the after-effects of his mother's suicide and life with an indifferent father, Zack decides that the Navy would make a good career choice. Plus, he's always wanted to fly jets.
The first person Zack meets after arriving on base is Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley (Louis Gossett, Jr.). ... Read More
Rating:  - The officer is fresh!
Wow! Didn't know the movie can look this good on dvd. The last time it was released on video, the picture was a bit grainy.
Eventhough it can be better, it really "lift it up" (no pun intended) to "where it belong" (again ... no pun intended).
It's a well acted movie with great characterisation by both the leading actors, Richard Gere and Louis Gosset Jr. You can really feel for the character. Debra Winger plays Gere love interest with casual ease. Meg Ryan played gere's partner, ... Read More
