Review of Tootsie (1982) by Cody H — 18 Sep 2011
A constantly entertaining and very witty film. Its storyline and premise are unremarkable, but they're brought to life with a brilliant script and a cast featuring Dustin Hoffman (possibly my favourite actor when I leave ironic choices out of the mix) and Bill Murray. Dustin Hoffman shines as he always does, making something that could have been extremely distracting (a man playing a woman) - not to mention, extremely uncomfortable and filled with sexual undertones - feel completely natural and normal for the viewer after about 3 minutes of getting used to it.
But yes, my point is that this film is executed well and aside from the great performances, it's mostly due to its brilliantly written script which is full of great little one-liners and musings.
8/10.
