Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
An Officer and a Gentleman is the best movie about love that I've seen in a long time.
90
The New York Times - Janet Maslin
Undeniably, there's an element of corniness to this. But that doesn't keep An Officer and a Gentleman from being a first-rate movie - a beautifully acted, thoroughly involving romance.
90
Variety - Unnamed
An Officer and a Gentleman deserves a 21-gun salute, maybe 42. Rarely does a film come along with so many finely-drawn characters to care about.
88
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
The performances are uniformly strong, with Gere offering some of his best work - though it pales in comparison with Gossett's tour de force as the tough, principled Sgt. Foley.
80
Chicago Reader - Dave Kehr
An awesomely, stiflingly professional piece of work, with a fleet, superficial visual style, perfectly placed climaxes, and a screenplay (by Douglas Day Stewart) that doesn't waste a single character or situation - everything is functional, and nothing but functional.
