I loved it when I first saw it in the theater at age 10 in late 1982, and I still love it today! This comic classic has Dustin Hoffman (superb as he often is!) as an out of work actor, whom... Full review

It's strange how seeing a man dressed up as a woman always seems to be funny and popular with the audiences. Milton Berle helped make television with skits like this on his early 1950s show. It works here, too, with... Full review

Little in the film feels dated and it's as fresh....Tootsie pokes gentle fun at soaps, incorporating melodramatic plot twists, ripe dialogue....a sharp screenplay, good comic timing, and delightful performances.....Tootsie represents his best comedy and one of his two or three top films overall.....It's a genial romantic comedy that spends the majority of its time developing the characters and their relationships.... ...
