Stephen Frears' Hero is a contemporary re-working of a Frank Capra-styled fable about a two-bit criminal named Bernie (Dustin Hoffman) who saves several passengers from a plane crash and leaves the scene without being identified, leaving only a lost shoe for identification. One of the passengers happens to be news-reporter Gale (Geena Davis) who is intent on finding her savior, and offers a million dollars to the "hero" of the crashed flight. Bernie has since given his remaining shoe to a homeless man named John (Andy Garcia) who decides to cash in on the offer. A handsome, charming man, John wins the hearts of the entire city. Soon, Bernie realizes that he's been cheated out of a million dollars, and he begins an effort to get his proper recognition--and his money. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

I first saw this movie in a theater and was the only one laughing. I doubted then that anyone got some of the absurdity. It was good enough to buy the Video tape, and eventually use it up. The acting, while sometimes bordering on slapstick, is delightful and the story, with loads of irony, is fun to hear. You simply cannot lose with this one.
