Plot: Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman), a brilliant but troublesome New York actor, has managed to alienate every producer on both coasts. Michael's agent George Fields (Sydney Pollack) can't even get his client a commercial since Michael complained that the tomato he was playing wasn't properly motivated. You were a tomato! screams George in desperation, adding that Michael is so obnoxious that he will probably never work again. Dorsey thinks otherwise; when he hears of an opening on a popular soap opera, he applies for the job--even though the job is for a woman. Posing as Miss Dorothy Michaels, Michael wins the part and becomes a widely-known actress. Yet complications ensue when Michael falls for his co-star Julie (Jessica Lange, in an Oscar-winning performance) but, as Dorothy, is courted by Julie's widowed father (Charles Durning). Michael ultimately finds that his disguise as a woman has made him a better man. One of the classic comedies of the 1980s, Tootsie's gender-bending premise boasts a screenplay by Larry Gelbart and Murray Schisgal, and by a host of memorable supporting comic performances from Dabney Coleman, Teri Garr, George Gaynes, and Bill Murray. Future Oscar-winner Geena Davis makes her screen debut as a daytime drama queen, which indeed she had been before Tootsie came along. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A movie that Is so refreshing to watch.A real classic. This Is a movie I could watch over and over. Dustin Hoffman, does such a wonderful job playing Tootsie.. I cannot Imagine anyone else doing It... You really come to enjoy the part of Tootsie and can understand why everyone really enjoys her.... The story Is so well done and yet there Is added humor throughout the movie that Is so delightful to see. I cannot say enough about this movie. I absolutely loved It....A great romantic comedy.....

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.

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!

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. .!!
