Tootsie (1982)
From Amazon:
One of the touchstone movies of the 1980s, Tootsie stars Dustin Hoffman as an out-of-work actor who disguises himself as a dowdy, middle-aged woman to get a part on a hit soap opera. The scheme works, but while he/she keeps up the charade, Hoffman's character comes to see life through the eyes of the opposite sex. The script by Larry Gelbart (with Murray Schisgal) is a winner, and director Sydney Pollack brings taut proficiency to the comedy and sensitivity to the relationship nuances that emerge from Hoffman's drag act. Great supporting work from Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Bill Murray, and pre-stardom Geena Davis....

I adore Dustin Hoffman. I think he is one of the best actors of our time. He is so versitile and real. I thought he was amazing in this movie. I believed him every second of the way. He was wonderful. He is also the reason I gave stars.
Having said this, the movie sucked. The plot was really weak and the other...

One of the greatest comedies of the 80s and all-time, this film is as inspirational as it is hilarious. Directed by the great Sydney Pollack, this film is one of the most popular films of 1982 earning around $177 million at the box office and also earning ten Academy Award nominations.
I can't praise Dustin Hoffman...
