Love and Honor
In this romantic drama set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the moon landing, two charming and passionate young soldiers will go to any length for love—even sneaking away from a war to fly halfway around the world. When Dalton Joiner finds out that his girlfriend Jane has dumped him, he vows to go home during his one-week leave to win her back. His best friend Mickey Wright will do anything to help his buddy out—as long as there might be a few girls along the way. In just seven days they must get to the States, change Jane’s mind and make it back to the war without getting caught. But when they arrive stateside they find Jane and her beautiful, committed activist friend Candace at the heart of the anti-war movement. Joiner and Wright must make some life changing decisions as they spend a week in July 1969 learning the truth about love, honor and commitment.

Hemsworth has presence, but he also represents this film's biggest problem: It feels like a bunch of good-looking kids putting on a show.

Everybody learns something about the illusion of love and the power of honor. It's hard to believe it wasn't written by Nicholas Sparks.

This trifle about two soldiers who sneak away to America while on leave unfolds in a world about as realistic as a flashback on a sitcom.

The CW version of the Vietnam War and the 1969 counterculture, Love and Honor hews to a mushy formula far older than its subject matter.
