Amazon.com:

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

A tomato doesn't have logic
The special edition of Tootsie is great! The making of - comprised of behind the scenes footage from the film shoot, make up tests, interviews with cast and crew, plus the history of how the film came to fruition - was great. I'm so glad there was an opportunity to conduct interviews with Sydney Pollack before passed away; what an amazing director and all around great guy. The interviews with Dustin Hoffman are also hilarious and insightful.

There's No Other Woman Like You, You're a Man
Funny lines, terrific acting, great direction. It shows sexism in the '80's--as a woman, I'm so glad I missed all that.

To a fascinating and Oscar award-winning film maker Sydney Pollack (1934-2008). Great work! It still makes us laugh, cry and feel after all these years.

I BEGGED you to get therapy!
I won't repeat what other reviewers wrote, but just add that the scenes between Hoffman and Pollack (as his agent) set a new comic standard for screen arguments...I didn't realize how many good lines I missed the first time....

HOFFMAN: "I DID sleep with her, she STILL thinks I'm gay."

POLLACK: "Oh...not so good, Michael."
