Thu, 11 Mar 2004 09:42:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author danielse - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author naphtalia - Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is a great actor, and is true to his craft.

Fri, 8 Jun 2001 11:49:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kansasgirl12 - Dustin Hoffman is an incredibly diverse actor, as demonstrated by “Tootsie”. How many other actors can actually play an actor, and make her a believable character to the audience, even though they got to watch the transition? Hoffman plays a really...

Sun, 11 Mar 2001 00:55:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mike.holmes - I just watched "Tootsie" on HBO. It has been a few years since I've seen the movie but it impresses me as much now as it did when it came out in 1982.

By now I guess everyone knows the premise of the movie. Dustin Hoffman plays Michael...

mvie mu-1021686: Brilliant

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 08:01:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Korova - 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.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gun_shy - 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...

Mon, 29 May 2000 18:02:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author susidee34 - 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.

An edgy, out of work...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ldarwent - 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...

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 20:19:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author o_utkin - Lets face it, seriously, as a man Hoffman's not exactly easy on the eyes, so as a woman he's pretty nauseating. As a film, Tootsie is likeable, entertaining, discomforting and occasionally funny. Hoffman's scene where he discusses the virtues of using a...

Thu, 25 Nov 1999 00:07:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LissaK - At first glance, this movie looks typical- guy dresses up like a woman and ends up falling in love with his female costar. Okay, maybe not that typical. Still, the plot can't exactly be called deep or ingenious. The success of Tootsie lies not in the...
