    Editorial Reviews

    Driven by an extravagant, tour-de-force performance by Al Pacino, Scent of a Woman is the story of Frank Slade (Pacino), a blind, retired army colonel who hires Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell), a poor college student on the verge of expulsion, to take care of him over Thanksgiving weekend. At the beginning of the weekend, Frank takes Charlie to New York, where he reveals to the student that he intends to visit his family, have a few terrific meals, sleep with a beautiful woman and, finally, commit suicide. The film follows the mis-matched pair over the course of the weekend, as they learn about life through their series of adventures. Though the story is a little contrived and predictable, it pulls all the right strings, thanks to O'Donnell's sympathetic supporting role and Pacino's powerful lead performance, for which he won his first Academy Award. Scent of a Woman is based on the 1975 Italian film Profumo Di Donna. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

    January 31, 2008: This is really a touching story full of humor, sadness, friendship, and pretty much everything. I felt every emotion at one point or another while watching this film. These two guys couldn't be more different from eachother yet each has something that the other needs. The boy, Charlie, has his problems at school which are solved by Al Pacino's wisdom and life experience. He has problems of his own regarding life and purpose- Charlie's youthful approach sheds new light on those things. If for no other reason, kids, the TANGO SCENE alone is worth watching the film for!! Al Pacino is brilliant as this rough character, hardened by life's unfortunate events but couldn't be more gentle, sensitive, and gallant when dancing the tango.. not to mention HANDSOME!
