Pros: great performances, wonderfully handled script. Cons: not a one! Except maybe the cheesy theme song.
This was one of two films of the 80's that adriennefoster suggested that I should review when I met her in the London Meet and Greet, exactly a year ago to this date (she also suggested I review the Indiana Jones trilogy, but sadly that is unlikely to ...
***In Memory of Sydney Pollock (1934-2008)*** In June 2000, the American Film Institute compiled a list of the 100 Greatest Film comedies of all-time. At number one was Billy Wilder's classic 1959 drag-comedy Some Like It Hot. A film ...
Pros: Performances, comic timing, story pace Cons: Amusing but unexceptional story
What have got to be Tootsie's most electric scenes involve the exchanges between struggling actor Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) and frustrated agent George Fields (director Sydney Pollack). In these scenes of argument, probably reveals the catharsis of ...
Pros: Funny as a great comedy should be. Cons: No DVD extras
Tootsie was released in 1982 and was a critical and commercial success. It's one of those one-line movies that Hollywood loves so much -- an unemployed actor can't find a job until he dresses up as a woman and becomes a huge success. This was Dustin ...
Pros: Mixes honey with the message Cons: Many might just get the honey and skip the message
The Michael Dorsey character as the character Dorothy Michaels in Tootsie (1982) : A study in the public roles of women and how their feet do not fit the shoes that have been provided them
Pros: Solid performances and direction. Terrific and thoughtful script. Cons: none really
Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is a great actor, and is true to his craft. He refuses to take direction if he finds it dishonest with what he feels is honest for his character. This holds true whether he is a man dying on stage or a beefsteak tomato in...
Probably one of the best known movies in a long time Tootsie is a fine vehicle for Dustin Hoffman. Truthfully he makes one ugly woman, but face it folks, we didn't have a lot to work with here in the first place.
Pros: Good script, excellent cast, well written! Cons: Has some language, but that is liveable!
Even after twenty years Tootsie brings many nuances to the viewer that are still relevant today. What looks like a man dressing as a woman in order to get work is not necessarily the case. Why would I make this comment? Well, one must look...
Pros: Hilarious, great plot, acting, charming romance story Cons: It's pretty long, some of the music is annoying
Before Mrs. Doubtfire and the terrible Big Momma's House Dustin Hoffman was putting on a thong and high heels in Tootsie. This hilarious transvestite comedy from Sydney Pollack is an absolute riot. It is on the AFI's one hundred funniest movies of all...
Pros: Unbelievably funny, insightful, not a one-joke movie Cons: sometimes it's painful.
Men don't always look good in dresses. In fact, they rarely do. Tim Curry did in 1976. Dustin Hoffman didn't in 1982. Was he good as a woman? He was terrific! It's true, Dorothy is a better person than Michael, but we love them both.
Pros: Story, acting, plot, humor Cons: some things are not explained that you wish were
"Tootsie" is a hilarious comedy starring the talented Mr. Hoffman. Although the cross dressing has been done with "Some Like It Hot" , Hoffman delivers such wittiness all throughout, along with his supporting cast, and with such a...
"Tootsie" is a successful and entertaining comedy. While not as good as its reputation, there are many genuine laughs to compensate for its weaknesses. "Tootsie" stars Dustin Hoffman as a talented but troublesome actor, unemployable...
