"Some Like It Hot" was wonderful. "Mrs Doubtfire" was pointless. "Bosom Buddies" was cheap. But by any angle, "Tootsie" begs that this genre be forever retired. Nothing can ever rise so high again.
Focus on Dustin Hoffman's genius. Savor Dabney Coleman and Charles Durning at their best. Sympathize with Sydney Pollack. Pine for Jessica Lange and Geena Davis.
Then throw all of that away. The whole movie is worth it just for Teri Garr's brilliant manic performance or Bill Murray's zany one-liners.
Not a wasted moment. Absolute brilliance!
