Editorial reviews

"...RENAISSANCE MAN generates its share of laughs, and the filmmakers have done a terrific job of casting the eight recruits with fresh faces who bring the film an inordinate amount of energy..."
Variety - Brian Lowry (05/30/1994)

"...DeVito is remarkably good in the role....It seems to have touched something genuine in him....The result is his best screen work since Barry Levinson's TIN MEN..."
Los Angeles Times - Peter Rainer (06/03/1994)

If you like Danny this movie is for you.

Created: 09/02/07
So no kidding i had owned this movie for a while on VHS and i got stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY. I pride myself for remembering all kinds for things from movies, but got stumped when i was talking about this one. As it turned out my (S-1 NCO) "personnel sergeant" was the Drill SGT at the top of the tower that told Danny he needed to have three points of contact on the tower. Also the "victory tower" that they were all going down was in Ft. Jackson, for those of you who don't know. I was stationed there for Basic Training, and i had to repel down the tower just like the rest of the kids in this movie. After being in the army for 6 years, i never get tired of this movie....

Danny Devito puts on a great performance. He is able to teach the unteachable kids that know one whats to try to teach. In doing so, Danny Devito's character also learns alot about himself. Great movie. I would highly recommend this movie. Two thumbs up.

Classic Movie!

Great story line; great music. This is definitely one of Danny DiVito's best movies. It has comedy, drama, and everything in between. The music in this movie is also excellent. Highly recommend owning this movie...you'd never get sick of it.

Hard to find DVD - Renaissance Man

Created: 05/08/07
When you can't find it anywhere else, check out e-bay! Better yet, just go to e-bay first. My son was at Ft. Jackson SC when this movie was filmed there and he is in one group scene. I really wanted the DVD copy because the "pause" quality is so clear. Great movie!
