Product Description:
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.
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

Rating:  - GREAT MOVIE! DUSTIN HOFFMAN IS AMAZING!!!
This is such a wonderful movie..Dustin Hoffman is a terrific actor! This movie is probably where the creators of mrs. doubtfire got there inspiration from..and Bill Murray is so hilarious. PERFECT CASTING! SUCH A GREAT STORY! I LOVED DUSTIN HOFFMAN..I LOVED THE MOVIE!!!!
Rating:  - HOFFMAN IN DRAG? I'LL PASS
I can't think of a single reason why I would want to WATCH this movie, let alone BUY it. There are very few things I would rather do less than see Dustin Hoffman dressed as a woman. UUUGGG-LEEEE !!! I enjoyed "THE GRADUATE" when it first came out, but that's about it for Hoffman's body of work.
Rating: - Tootsie - a Classic
Anyone that enjoyed Tootsie when it was released more than 25 years ago will want this DVD. It is funnier today as it was then. The interviews, with Dustin Hoffman specifically, will offer insight into just how brilliant these professionals are. It takes the piece to the highest level of creativity.
Rating: - "...and it's telling me it might be you"
The first time I watched Tootsie was when I was 12 years old, heard this Stephen Bishop song on the TV, and surprised to see an oldmaid clutching a baby and looking admiringly at the baby's mom. The song seems out of place.... [After I finished that second half of the movie, I rewound the Betamax tape--my brother had already watched it full--and re-play the whole thing just for me.]
But later, how Dustin Hoffman made me believe he was a legitimate old lady in heavy makeup, in love ... Read More
Rating: - Dustin Hoffman - A real woman
Tootsie is timeless. I saw this movie when it was first released in 1985 and recently bought a copy to see if my initial respone would be duplicated. Wow, was it ever! Dustin Hoffman is priceless in this film and quite believable as a woman. Mrs. Doubtfire comes to mind.
I had forgotten that Teri Garr and Bill Murray were in this film.
