Tootsie
Directed by Sydney Pollack
1982
★ 7.2 editorial score
Hoffman said the part permanently changed how he saw women, and what he learned is worked out here as farce: an unemployable actor becomes a soap opera star.
“Tootsie works for three reasons: a sharp screenplay, good comic timing, and delightful performances...It doesn't try to solve the world's problems or uncover some great social truth. It's a genial romantic comedy that spends the majority of its time developing the characters and their relationships while lampooning soap operas and making a muted statement about the every-growing role of women in the workplace.”
