Sun, 1 Jun 2008 08:17:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bigfatdogs - The Graduate was made in 1967, the same year I was born, so I consider it is of particularly fine vintage. I had watched this film a number of times in the past, but noticed that it had not been on recently. When I saw it for sale on Amazon for only £...

mvie mu-1008677: Here's to all of The Graduate's pernicious, foul haters

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 07:24:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - For a movie so commonly labeled a classic, The Graduate has its fair share of haters. "Katherine Ross is just playing her part," the miscreants say. "The ending is melodramatic. Mrs. Robinson is the only cool character. Reprises of the same Simon...

Sun, 21 May 2006 17:29:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flipperoid - My first viewing of The Graduate was quite pleasant and I enjoyed it very much. In fact, it became one of my favorite movies. I noted that The Graduate did have flaws but when a film is a crowd pleaser, flaws tend to go ignored. In my second viewing of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aeb89 - In his 1997 re-review of THE GRADUATE, Roger Ebert wrote that the movie is ”about a young man of limited interest, who gets a chance to sleep with the ranking babe in his neighborhood, and throws it away in order to marry her dorky daughter.” A...

mvie mu-1008677: Perhaps the best "ordinary film" of all-time

Thu, 7 Mar 2002 13:15:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cripper - I think the film, The Graduate, will forever be remembered as the film that brought Dustin Hoffman into stardom. Although he has a fair number of films under his belt now, his first major acting role was in this film. The Graduate is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rytr_1 - At first director Mike Nichols and producer Lawrence Turman wanted a muscular leading man, someone you'd expect to play a young man having an affair with an older married woman. After many auditions and a lot of script rewrites, it became glaringly...

mvie mu-1008677: This must be a "classic" for reasons OTHER than the storyline

Mon, 28 May 2001 03:44:05 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author uberkelly - A friend and I decided to try to watch the movies that are highly ranked by the AFI (American Film Institute). The Graduate was ranked #7 and the short synopsis said it was a "biting comedy." We were excited to check this classic out!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author perfcangel - I love this movie! When I first discovered it I tried to make all my friends watch it with me. However, I have since learned my lesson because very few people share my opinion of how beautiful it is. Most of my friends fall asleep during the movie...

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 16:07:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author George_Chabot - The Graduate (1967)

Mike Nichols’ fun romp thru the 60s hasn’t aged well. It made a huge splash when it was released catapulting Dustin Hoffman to stardom, but the issues addressed now appear dated. Nevertheless, there are some good things...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bilbopooh - After years of being a die-hard Simon and Garfunkel fan who had not seen The Graduate, I decided that the time had come to rectify the situation. I rented this movie the day after I saw Art Garfunkel in concert, and now I can finally feel like my...

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 13:42:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SAEGOOSE - The Graduate is a film that will certainly stand the test of time. It's message is universal and is made clear to the viewer that life is game with unclear rules that make themselves up.

The film is innovative and artistic and reminds...

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 23:05:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chinafrog - When I first saw this film, I was a bit confused. I felt uncertain as to what would happen to the two young adults at the end of the film.

Sun, 28 May 2000 12:30:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PoloPinoy - It's easy to see the cultural impact 1967's "The Graduate" has left. From "Wayne's World" to The Simpsons, many people have bitten and used one of the most famous movie endings ever. This comedy/drama, based on the Charles Webb novel,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MoonliteGraham - This timeless classic should be required viewing for any recent college graduate, or for that matter, anyone who has recently pondered their existence on this planet.

Sun, 7 May 2000 12:35:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sampo24 - I picked up a copy of "The Graduate" at the library a few days ago. It's one of those movies that a person feels compelled to watch, mainly because everyone in the world seems to have made up their mind that this is one of the best...

mvie mu-1008677: Maybe for an older generation

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 22:08:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prattguy - Unfortunately for the Graduate, it was preceded in viewing by Scarface. And since I rank Pacino's film pretty high on my list, it's only fair to say that that may be a large part of why I couldn't find as much to say positive about the Graduate as the...

mvie mu-1008677: Must see

Tue, 11 Apr 2000 17:15:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calmo28 - I saw this movie at first because I am very familiar with Berkeley and some of the story is based on Hoffman following Bancroft's daughter, played by Katharine Ross, to her apartment in Berkeley.

This movie is great because it carries off...

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 04:13:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ronaldyang - Everybody is hung up about the plot, the music, and the acting. Clearly the plot is hollow and much resembles Hollywood generation gap boilerplate. The music became wildly popular and has probably since overshadowed the actual movie. And much of the...

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 01:27:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goatius - Mike Nichols' pitch perfect coming-of-age comedy is as relevant to society today as it was thirty years ago. The hilarious, poignant, symbolic script that criticizes, in its way, everything from the wealthy to the church, changed the way comedies...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author breven - I don't like to watch films that are older than I am,

but since I've heard so much about "The Graduate", I decided to go

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cbreikss - It's 1967. While Canada celebrates its Centennial, America struggles with polarized feelings toward the Vietnam War and Sexual Revolution. It's also a time to float new ideas in music and the arts. Director Mike Nichols capitalizes on this social...
