Pros: Acting, direction, touching story Cons: Flawed characters, the score, tearjerker
Whenever I think of the film Kramer vs. Kramer, I have always been interested in the idea of the father bringing up his son by himself. After all, most unsuccessful marital relationships (certainly back then) result in a single mother taking care...

Pros: Great performances by Hoffman, Streep, and Harry Cons: Dated
Kramer v. Kramer, the 1979 Best Picture winner, is enough of a classic that despite its age I was able to find it in the MLICs video library. I first watched it twenty years ago as my own parents were preparing to divorce. In some respects, as for ...

Pros: Informative and well acted Cons: ......
Who would assume this film, released in 1979, would 20 years later pretty much sum up a good deal of American households?
An unlikely marriage of Hoffman and Streep but they played wonderfully off each other. Streep always seems so cool and...

Pros: Good story, great acting Cons: Somewhat dated
"Kramer vs. Kramer" is a sad film, primarily because it shows not only the cruelty of divorce in the eyes of the child, but also how one man failed to show appreciation for his wife until it was too late. I am all for moms staying at home...

Pros: Great Acting Cons: All too realistically depressing
Ironically, this movie came out the same year my parents got divorced. I can remember watching it with my father several times, I think he wanted to identify with what Dustin Hoffman's character was going through. He even cut out the ad for the movie...

Pros: Great script, great acting. Cons: None
KRAMER VS. KRAMER is a film everyone should see. I only recently saw it for the first time and I was amazed at how relevant it still is. More than a film about divorce, this is a story about a man who falls in love with his son and the realization that...

Pros: Touching moving tale Cons: None
"Kramer vs Kramer" is a beautiful and heart felt story of a couple who are torn apart by divorce and the chaos that follows. Ted and Joanna Kramer (Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep) start this movie off with Joanna crying and telling ted she has...

Pros: superb acting; great script Cons: none
Kramer vs. Kramer teaches us about parenting, parenthood, making choices and discovering for ourselves what's important in life. It makes you laugh, cry, get angry, hate the characters, love the characters and feel just about every emotion under...

Pros: funny and touching moments, the moral that the audience learns, some pretty good acting Cons: pretty average, actually makes us feel sorry for the kid and not the father, things that a real person would almost never do
I am awestruck. What is happening. How is this a good movie? How did this movie wind up winning five OSCARS. Unless the Academy was on something, this movie shouldn't even have been nominated.
The movie tells the story of a man, Hoffman, being...

Pros: Sad but moving movie Cons: Parents got divorced
Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman did an excellent job portraying their charactors they really got into their charactors. She walks out on her husband and her son.
The husband did everything he could to raise his son. He was both the mother and...

Pros: Great dialogue and portrayal of mom and dad and divorce Cons: Mom running out on family
I really LOVE this movie. Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman are great in it. It's really great how it shows the father's and the mother's side of the whole divorce situation. Yes, I know that the wife walks out on the hubby and their small son, but at...
