The cast is good, the plot is well thought out, and the direction is well done and keeps you engaged from start to finish. Even with the fact that it's a bit predictable, An Officer and a Gentleman is far better than many other genre films. For me, I felt it was a good film, but one that doesn't necessarily warrant multiple viewings. Like I said, the actors salvage this one, as some may find it a little dull. Where An Officer and a Gentleman differs is that the romance is set within a well constructed story. In terms of Romance films, I guess this is one of the better ones, compared to those of today, which are peppered with clichés and highly forgettable.
The chemistry between Richard Gere and Debra Winger is wonderful, and it's what keeps you involved in the film.
I really felt that the actors salvaged the film due to the fact that this is a film that we know exactly how it will conclude. I thought that the film was a bit overrated, but nonetheless it's worth seeing, if you're looking for an engaging drama, this is a film worth seeing. An Officer and a Gentleman is a good drama that relies on a predictable story, but manages to be entertaining due to the performances of its cast.
