DVD Reviews of Scent of a Woman
DVD Review: A Speech Everyone Likes
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a different type of story with excellent acting by Al Pacino, who makes a speech at the end of the film that many people think is one of the coolest speeches they've ever heard on film.
Pacino's character, "Lt. Cl. Frank Slade," is a turnoff for awhile because he's so gruff, but he grows on you and becomes fascinating to watch as a blind man who doesn't act like a blind man. Chris O'Donnell, as "Charlie Simms," plays the opposite: a nice, young college kid whom Pacino winds up taking under wing.
Overall, this is a different kind of story, marred only by a little too much profanity for family viewing. If you haven't seen it, I recommend checking it out. You'll enjoy it
DVD Review: A romantic movie for those of us who aren't "romantics"
Summary: 5 Stars
I am NOT a fan of Hallmark or Lifetimes movies, romance novels or "bodice-rippers". This movie, however, knocks my socks off! Yes it's cliche to mention by now, but the tango scene has got to be one of the BEST dance scenes ever filmed. Lovely...absolutely lovely. Oh to be young, willowy, smartly dressed and able to tango with an elegant man like Mr Pacino! And then to watch Charlie stand up to the old boy's club with the stirring defence of Lt Col Slade...LOVE IT!DVD Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is classic Pacino. It's the kind of movie that is hard to watch, not for anything bad, but because my boyfriend will not stop quoting lines the entire time. It's the kind of movie that leaves you to say for years after, "... like in Scent of a Woman?"DVD Review: Missing part
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the movie. It is very inspiring, regardless of the critiques about it noy being "realistic". Since when are movies realistic?
Anyway, the part I miss in the disc version and feel a bit dissapointed is the one at the near end of the movie where Pacino tells the Puerto Rican cleaning lady at the hotel that Puerto Rican soldiers are the best in the world. I just wonder if anyone else has noticed this cut and why would that happen.
DVD Review: dvd purchased, scent of a woman

Description of Scent of a Woman
A bitter blind man and his caretaker for the Thanksgiving weekend have a short, wild fling in New York.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 28-MAR-2006
Media Type: DVD
Hoo-ah! After seven Oscar nominations for his outstanding work in films such as The Godfather, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon, it's ironic that Al Pacino finally won the Oscar for his grandstanding lead performance in this 1992 crowd pleaser. As the blind, blunt, and ultimately benevolent retired Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, Pacino is both hammy and compelling, simultaneously subtle and grandly over-the-top when defending his new assistant and prep school student Charlie (Chris O'Donnell) at a disciplinary hearing. While the subplot involving Charlie's prep-school crisis plays like a sequel to Dead Poets Society, Pacino's adventurous escapades in New York City provide comic relief, rich character development, and a memorable supporting role for Gabrielle Anwar as the young woman who accepts the colonel's invitation to dance the tango. Scent of a Woman is a remake of the 1972 Italian film Profumo di donna. In addition to Pacino's award, the picture garnered Oscar nominations for director Martin Brest and for screenwriter Bo Goldman. --Jeff Shannon
