behoove, behove (v.)
Most Americans spell it with two o’s, the British spell it with only one; most Americans pronounce it bi-HOOV, the British bi-HOV, but the British spelling and pronunciation are also considered infrequent American variants.
The transitive verb is in full use today: It behooves [you] to study hard for the final, meaning "it is necessary for you, incumbent upon you, or advantageous to you."
The intransitive verb is rare in American use: She was modest, as it behooved, meaning "as was right and proper."
Variety’s Todd McCarthy writes: "Oliver Stone’s unusual and inescapably interesting "W." feels like a rough draft of a film it might behoove [him] to remake in 10 or 15 years." … ""W." is, if anything, overly conventional, especially stylistically.
The picture possesses dramatic and entertainment value, but beyond serious filmgoers curious about how Stone deals with all this president’s men and women, it’s questionable how wide a public will pony up to immerse itself in a story that still lacks an ending."
