Tootsie was outragously funny., 2010-07-10
Tootsie was an outragiously funny movie. In 1982 I saw this movie with my mom and my grandmother. I had blast watching this movie with two favorite women in my life. We had a great time watching this movie and laughing so hard that i remember almost falling out of my seat. Dustin Hoffman was so great in this movie. He really new how to pull off a dress and heels. If you love funny movies this one needs to be added to your collection.

"One Of The Best Comedies From The Eighties", 2010-04-28
Dustin Hoffman is my favorite actor and in "Tootsie" he proves how versatile a performer he can be. When you watch this comedy you forget all about "Midnight Cowboy", "Marathon Man", "The Graduate", and "Rain Man", all films where Dustin proved he is without a doubt the best actor Hollywood has ever had. In "Tootise" Dustin shows his comedic chomps and to this day his portrayal as a man who cross dresses as a woman to garner a role on a daytime soap is widely regarged by critics and fans as an intelligent and poignant performance. Dustin plays an out-of-work actor in New York City who cannot find a job as he has become known as "difficult" to work with. He eventually dons a wig, dress, and highheels, and tries out for a part on the highly rated serial "Southwest General", obviously named after daytime's then #1 rated soap opera "General Hospital". He gets the part and what eventaully happens is a series of misunderstandings as everyone believes that the Hoffman character, Dorothy Michaels, is a real person. br / Jessica Lange received the first of her two Oscars playing the co-star in "Southwest General", as well as the love interest to the Hoffman character. Big-time Hollywood director Sydney Pollack directed the film. br / "Tootsie" has found a niche for itself on the list of the best films ever, and upon its release became a huge boxoffice smash. On a budget of $20,000,000 "Tootsie" has grossed nearly $200,000,000 as of 2010. br / This new 25th Anniversary Edition features interviews, trailers, commentary, and more.

And the Oscar for Best Actor *should have gone to*, 2010-03-27
Although he has won plenty of acclaim--including two other Leading Actor Oscars and five Golden Globes--Dustin Hoffman was never better than he was as Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels. (He was equally good in a very different role as Raymond Babbitt in Rain Man.) Playing an actor (or actress!) who is playing another role is never easy, yet he handles the multiple layers brilliantly. The scenes between Hoffman and Sydney Pollack (who also directed) are the best part of the film, probably due in large part to their very real off-camera arguments. This film also boasts the right amount of Bill Murray (not too much!), allowing him to make the most of his scenes. Jessica Lange won Best Supporting Actress for what was in my opinion a fairly shallow role (Teri Garr deserved it more!), and yet Tootsie lost out on EVERY other Oscar that year, mostly to Ghandi and E.T. br / br /Minus one star for the soundtrack which was awful at the time and has aged no better. br / br /

A Classic Best, 2010-03-10
When I saw this movie for the first time, I was visitng my brother in Syracuse, NY. Everytime "Syracuse" was mentioned in the film, the audience went nuts. Anyway, it's a funny film with great memories for me. It was as funny for me today as it was when it first came out.
