Editorial Review:
Michael Dorsey is a talented actor, but his demanding nature and stubborn temperament have antagonized every producer in New York. Now his agent insists no one will hire him. But Michael needs money - eight thousand dollars to be exact - and to earn it, he's willing to play the role of a lifetime. Dustin Hoffman stars with Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Bill Murray and Geena Davis in director Sydney Pollack's heart-filled classic that heralded a new era of Hollywood wig-flipping and set a new standard for unpredictable laugh-out-loud comedy.
Description of Tootsie - 25th Anniversary Edition:
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. But the film finally belongs to Hoffman, who seems to connect with the character at a very deep and abiding level. --Tom Keogh

2009-10-17 - It was given to a relative who had asked for it . She seeemed happy.
Great movie 
2009-08-31 - I can't believe this was the "25th Anniversary" edition. Am I that old? I showed this movie to my 13-year-old son, and he absolutely LOVED it. Some movies are timeless classics, and this one is great. I'd forgotten how good Bill Murray is in this movie, too.
Pretty Good!!!
2009-08-14 - I really liked this movie! I thought was very funny, and Dustin Hoffman did an awesome job pretending to be a woman. Michael Dorsey is an incredibly hard actor to work with, so nobody will hire him. In desperation, he cross-dresses under the name of Dorothy Michaels for a part in a soap opera. He becomes a very popular character, all the guys make a move on him, and he even begins to fall in love with his co-stars Julie Nichols. I highly recommend TOOTSIE!!!
Classic comedy!
2009-07-04 - Even 25 years later, the humor in Tootsie still manages to impress. Brilliant performances by everyone- Teri Garr is amazing. Everyone must see this movie at least once. .!!
