Jan 09, 2014The poor man's version of Goodbye Mr. Chips is good. It just isn't great and with Chips around, who needs this film. Dreyfuss makes the most of it but I would have hoped that the talented people involved might have done something more original.John B Super Reviewer

Jan 05, 2009As much as I like this film and, more specifically, like the performance of Richard Dreyfuss, there is one moment that absolutely makes my skin crawl. When Mr. Holland accompanies one of his students to the bus station as she leaves to pursue a music career in New York, he kisses her right smack dab on the lips! No, no, no, no, and hell no. A high school teacher does not and should not do that. If he does he should never teach again. Period. I don't care if he is having a midlife crisis. That's so very, very wrong.Randy T Super Reviewer

Dec 17, 2008I enjoyed this movie. I guess I am just a sucker for inspirational, hopeful movies - ones where the character doesn't realize the impact he is having on those around him. "Mr. Holland's Opus" is about a teacher trying to improve his students' lives through music - who never has time to finish his Opus.
