At the core of the movie is a beautiful portrayal of a man that finds the courage to step out of his comfort zone. Of course, the movie is so much more than that. I don’t know that it would have worked with actors that were not the caliber of Hopkins and Winger, but we need not worry about that. I wouldn’t consider it a classic, but I don’t think that it is too far off.
