Love and Honor

An Attractive Cast With Thoroughly Modern Sensibilities In A Vietnam Era Romance That Lacks Authenticity
The melodrama "Love and Honor" is not terribly dissimilar to a lightweight period romance that you might catch on a television network such as the Hallmark Channel. There's nothing particularly wrong with that. With an attractive cast, the movie might be appealing to the younger demographic or those that aren't concerned with any amount of dramatic realism. With its modern sensibilities and contemporary styling, the movie plays with the "let's put on a show" exuberance that contradicts the potential seriousness of the subject matter. Never for a minute can you believe that this accurately reflects the tumultuous period that it pretends to depict. Instead, it is a group of modern (albeit appealing) actors going though the cliches that signify Vietnam era concerns. Shot through a gauzy filter, the movie looks lovely enough and many of the performances are earnest. But the movie lacks bite and realness. At best, it's a tepid tweener romance portrayed by a nice slate of up-and-coming...

Not what I expected
The movie was not what I expected it to be. The trailers mislead you into thinking it was more of a love story between the two characters shown in the picture. I only watched it because of Liam!!!

Great Movie
This movie was a great romantic story and really gave insight to what the boys went through in Nam and how the same aged kids reacted in America. Great learning experience for everyone. Very touching. Highly recommend it.
