Kylo M Apr 16, 2019 Undeniably has some great scenes (i.e. just about anything with Teri Garr or Bill Murray) but on the whole its a little too long and the romance isn't all that convincing. See more

Abraham S Mar 29, 2019 Unmask The Voice. Tootsie Pollack has got his finest project out. A perfect balance of humor and comedy. Both illuminating and inspiring. Probably because it judges its own host, the protagonist, in the most subtle mature way possible. There is this one line that is enacted in its first stage by the protagonist, and then later that very same line by the antagonist. This is how balanced the world is. The director Sydney Pollack's romance between the characters is his sharpest knife. He cuts deep with supporting characters, like when Hoffmann when dressed as a woman is forced just after he is being proposed by being sung in front of his apartment. That scene that may draw in the laughs is so beautifully haunting as the kraken is released in that very stage after being teased in the entire film. And these subtle nuances where some director keeps inappropriately touching and controlling his lead actress, is done so brilliantly that without any such loud intentions, he fights for equal rights like no one. If Dustin Hoffman through his body language attracts you heavily with his performance, Jessica Lange in her completely opposite cloak oozes warmth and somehow the film has managed to be balanced again. This brilliant never-taken-for-granted concept is buoyant as far as the gags are concerned, after a certain while, this transformation of Hoffmann is considered to be the apparatus of the scene that is actually set in a backdrop of something beyond valuable than it. The supporting cast like hilarious Bill Murray, incredibly moving Charles Durning and brilliant George Gaynes have definitely helped in creating this ultimate illusion. Just like the pleased people of the soap opera viewers, Tootsie- if I may call her that- deserves the fame and respect she and he gets. See more

Abraham R Mar 3, 2019 Bad and boring at all levels. Hoffman doesn't have to do much, and doesn't. It doesn't work. No one would believe this. Another person -- maybe...perhaps. But where was casting? If it doesn't look right, find someone else. The plot is boring. With a subject that could have been interesting, how could they drop the ball this badly? I saw this when it came out, and I recently saw it again, 40 years later. I felt the same way both times. This is just a bad film. See more

Finn G Feb 28, 2019 Tootsie is a comedy directed by Sydney Pollack. Really good acting mainly Dustin Hoffman as Dorothy. Very good characters especially Dorothy. Good and steady cinematography with some cool shots. Good setting with New York in the 80s. Very good set design especially the sets. Very good costume design mainly with Dorothy and her different outfits. Very good makeup with Dustin Hoffman. Good and steady editing. Very good music that mostly fits the scenes. Very good comedy that makes me laugh. Good story that is funny and re-watchable. Over all I give it a 7/10 See more
