I was a better man with you, as a woman... than I ever was with a woman, as a man.

Among some cross-dressing romance movies, 'Tootsie' has the most organized and simplest development. According to a few others I've watched, stories that can happen from cross-dressing are more than enough, but writers try to add more happenings, stories, comedies, turning movies unnatural and artificial. However, 'Tootsie' stays focused on Michael and Julie's love story. The story itself is not original or fresh; you've heard it a few times. However, out of those stories, 'Tootsie' feels most original.

Tootsie is a throwback feminist icon

Dustin Hoffman and director/producer Sydney Pollack played with cross-dressing, gender roles and to some degree sexism in this 1982 megahit, the second-highest grossing movie of the year in the United States (after E. T.). The film is not particularly probing or controversial - not by today's standards, and arguably not by 1982's either. At least not beyond the very sight of Dustin Hoffman dressing up as a woman. Tootsie is not an opinionated piece; it's a simple romantic comedy with a creative, fun angle. And it's rather comfortable in that skin, perhaps even complacent. Dustin Hoffman's lead performance is devoted and rather sweet. Although his Dorothy Michaels is an outdated woman from the pre-sexual revolution era, whereas his Michael Dorsey is a modern 40-something of the 1980s, Hoffman still is able to make Dorothy into some kind of throwback feminist icon, if for no other reason than that (s)he speaks up. Some detractors may of course have balked at the idea that the film suggests women needed a man to do just that, but the picture is far too gullible to be accused of such schemes or ambitions.

Lange, Hoffman Fun To Watch In This Justifiable Hit Of Its Day

It's strange how seeing a man dressed up as a woman always seems to be funny and popular with the audiences. Milton Berle helped make television with skits like this on his early 1950s show. It works here, too, with Dustin Hoffman applying the makeup and playing the role to the hilt.Helping Hoffman is Jessica Lange in, by far, her most attractive role. I'm not particularly a fan of hers but she looked spectacular in here, almost like Marilyn Monroe. This was a popular film because the humor was good and the two leads did a nice job, and people like a good romance story, too. Hoffman, like him or not, is a fabulous, able to play so many diverse roles. He's an amazing actor.Sometimes overlooked is the big-name supporting cast which includes Dabney Coleman, Teri Garr, Bill Murray, Chares Durning and Geena Davis. The latter was making her screen debut in here!This isn't as "cute" as it was 25 years ago but it sure was a justifiable bit hit back in the early '80s.
