Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Jun 15 This is about as perfect as you can get for a smart, hilarious comedy. The acting is off the charts outstanding including a superb cameo from Bill Murray. Brilliant satire on television, a deep dive into acting and a comedy with a huge heart. Bravo! Miss you Teri Garr! Your performance is wonderful!

The plot about a the man, Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman), who is done dirty by the industry, the way he can get back is becoming a woman (slightly alter ego) named Dorothy or such. I love how the plot is a promising one, never a ripoff. At first, I thought the comedic relief was the script that he had, because it contained some hilarious quotes, which Michael Dorsey shouted out at the start. I also just want to highlight some iconic moments about the argument he got into with the lady in his apartment when going through his drag phase & calling HIMself a LESBIAN (this will stick out). Then again, I will love this movie for giving the message of learning, honesty & showing the true self, which is all you want to be.

Also, love watching a movie you can watch 50 years later and it's still somewhat relevant. I think it plays out great, you can see how nasty the industry can be, the only thing is damn, dustin must've had a practice cause first day of auditions and she already looked almost perfect. So, I think that character wanted to be a woman way before the movie took place. See more William K @Koolbill May 9 We revisited this film this week and thought it was priceless. It holds up very very well. Great fun seeing Hoffman in his "youth". He is a very fine actor. Terri Garr is also very very good. Jessica Lang in this role probably needed a bit more "seasoning". See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 27 Tootsie is another standout classic from the 80s that still holds up as both entertaining and surprisingly sharp. It blends comedy and drama in a way that feels natural, with humor that comes from character and situation rather than cheap gags. The film’s strength lies in its writing and performances, especially the lead role, which carries a lot of emotional weight alongside the comedic moments. It manages to be funny while also touching on themes about identity, relationships, and personal growth without becoming heavy-handed. Even decades later, it remains engaging thanks to its smart pacing and timeless storytelling. It’s the kind of movie that shows why 80s cinema produced so many enduring comedies with heart. Overall, Tootsie is a clever, well-acted, and highly rewatchable film that earns an 8/10 as a true classic of its era. See more Bob R @BobRobb Mar 6 Hilarious.
