WITH HONORS Joe Pesci, Brendan Fraser (1994, Warner, PG-13, priced for rental) Could there be a more numbskull, less engaging plot than this? Four Harvard students bond with a bitter-but-charismatic homeless man (Pesci), because, you see, the brats and the greasy scamp are emotionally incomplete and can grow from their unlikely friendship. Five minutes into this Ivy League confection, I realized I was skewered on a spit in Dante's ninth concentric circle of Hell. Pesci-who hasn't been in a video this tired since the just-released Jimmy Hollywood-is grating as the seize-the-day bum, so it's a shock that he's welcome relief from Fraser's doe-eyed emoting. With Honors graduates summa cum lousy. D -Chris Nashawaty
