I’ve never seen this movie: “An Officer and a Gentleman”
Is it any good? Also, is it okay for a family to watch?
Yes. It is a good flick.
It was rated R when it came out in theaters.

The MAD Magazine parody was pretty good: “An Officer Ain’t No Gentleman”.
>Is it any good? Also, is it okay for a family to watch?
Good flick. R rated, nudity, violence. Not a kids flick.
I’ll never forget this young USAF lieutenant telling us in the breakroom, “I just saw the greatest movie! “An Officer and a Gentleman”!”
I replied, “What??? You saw two movies El Tee?”
Everyone burst out in laughter. El Tee turned beet red.
Good times.
Yeah, it was a good movie though.
An elderly woman (wonderful woman) I worked with loved it. Popular movie. I never saw it. R.I.P., Louis G.
Not aspropriate for young children, language, nudity, and immoral activity. IMHO Louis did a great job as Drill Instructor.
There is a very explicit sex scene, discussions about whether a woman should get an abortion, suicide, loads of bad language. So not for kids.
Lou Gossett is the best thing about the movie. He’s both intimidating and hilarious. But I don’t even know if I could recommend it to adults for the reasons I listed above.
Lou Gossett, rest in peace.
My wife and I saw it at Port Townsend/large scene, and at home/Cable TV.
It is a movie that is best seen on a large scene.
I was somewhat positively prejudiced as a former enlisted Navy, non flight guy.
Over my active duty days ( non air dale), we got to know a few Navy pilots and their wives.
The guys had survived one of the most demanding and dangerous jobs in our Navy. Also, the wives had to put up with the “Air Dale” demeanor of the pilot husbands.
All of these Navy pilots and their wives liked this movie.
We don’t recommend it for children under 18.
good movie but not family friendly.
Very good flick.
Reminds us what serving in the military USED to mean.
Love the movie.
