Convinced he'll graduate with honors because of his thesis paper, a stuffy Harvard student finds his paper being held hostage by a homeless man, who might be the guy to school the young man in life.
Editor's Verdict
"While 'With Honors' is not explicitly framed as a Christmas movie, the central conflict (the hostage situation involving the thesis) occurs over the holiday season. The need to resolve the conflict before graduation, coinciding with the Christmas break, lends moderate weight to the setting and plot, invoking themes of generosity and transformation often associated with the season, though Christmas itself is not the primary focus."
