Richard Dreyfuss at his best!

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2011)

Richard Dreyfuss is a terrific actor. His Oscar-Winning role in 'The Goodbye Girl', has remained as a topic. And I believe, 'Mr. Holland's Opus' is a another film, that uses the potential of this veteran actor, and utilizes him to the optimum.
As a film, 'Mr. Holland's Opus' is an interesting film, a neat film, that makes a memorable protagonist. Presented as a video biography, of the 30-year career of the eponymous lead character, Glenn Howard, who is a music teacher.
Glenn Howard's journey is well-written and offers heartfelt moments, with a stellar performance by Dreyfuss. Stephen Herek directs this story with maturity. Cinematography, Editing & Background Score, are worth a mention.
Dreyfuss earned a Oscar and Golden-Globe Nomination for his Performance here, for Best Actor, and deserved to. This is one of his best performances to date. He makes Glenn Howard memorable.
On the whole, A Must for Dreyfuss fanatics.
