This is a classic, and it's enjoyable. I saw it a while back so it's not completely in my memory bank. I do remember that Hoffman plays an actor who pretends to be a woman to land a part on a TV show. It's funny and has a lot of charm, but it comes from Tootsie, not Dustin without the dress. Every time he was himself I thought, get back into your dress, please! Still, it deserves the name of a classic and should be seen for a fun comedy movie.

Tootsie is simultaneously funny/entertaining... And wildly over-hyped and dated (that score and those songs just suck). I know such things like critical appraisal shouldn't matter, but to give an example this is #2 on the AFI top comedies list, above Dr Strangelove (which is #3). That's like saying American Sniper is the #2 war movie of all time above #3 Saving Private Ryan. It's supposed to be Hoffman's movie, and he puts his all into it, but I'll be damned if Dabney Coleman (who's first rate), Sydney Pollack (who originally didn't want to even be in the movie and was thankfully forced by Hoffman for the good reason that no one could tell Michael what to do like him) and Bill Murray don't steal the movie out from under him. This is a case to me where the "straight men" get more of the laughs, and Hoffman gets his share. Also ups to Teri Garr and Charles Durning too, albeit the latter comes in like a realer but less funny version of the "well, nobody's perfect" guy from Some Like it Hot.It's a handsomely made, usually well timed sitcom. It somehow managed to be nominated at the Oscars alongside the likes of ET, The Verdict and Das Boot (Lange got a not undeserved one too as the heart of the movie).

I like this movie. The main character of this movie hits walls, but overcomes difficulties or obstacles in many ways I don't expect. It's really interesting. I'm excited when I am watching this movie. I especially like the last scene. There is the last scene I don't expect. In the last scene, the main character and a lady are talking. The conversation doesn't express directly, but we can understand the development in this movie. The conversation is interesting and beautiful. I like it.The setting in this movie seems strange, but it's interesting. In addition, I think this movie may express historical background such as gender discrimination and same sex marriage at that time. I admires the actor who performs the main character. He pretends to be woman and I can watch his performances without feeling uncomfortable.The point also makes this film better and attractive.

A middle-aged struggling actor, Michael Dorsey, has no work because of his obstinacy. One day, he makes the decision to disguise himself as a woman to apply for a drama as a head nurse. After he gets the role, the viewer rate goes up and he becomes famous in accordance with his wish. However, while giving a helping hand to Julie, a single-mother actress in the drama with him, he comes to love her… This film keeps me watching the whole time due to whether Dorsey's disguise is revealed to others or not. A technique for being a woman such as feminine sign, a way of talking and makeup must be difficult for a man. Yet, Dorsey, Dustin Hoffman, completely performs the woman's part well without any doubt by others characters in the film, and even he attracts a couple of men. In addition, when watching this with an audience, everyone laughs plenty of times. If you want to spend time filled with laughter, this comedy film is perfect for you.
