Summary - Very Good 3.5

A stupendously funny premise about an actor in Hollywood who dresses in drag to get a job.

Acting - Very Good 3.5

Male Stars - Great 4.0

Dustin Hoffman delivers a hilarious performance mostly as Dorothy, the quirky, southern woman he goes undercover as.

Female Stars - Very Good 3.5

Female Costars - Good 3.0

Male Costars - Great 4.0

Bill Murray pops in. Always a delight.

Film - Very Good 3.5

A solid, good film with all of the necessary elements to create a good comedy: timing, witty dialogue, and funny cameos.

Direction - Great 4.0

Dialogue - Great 4.0

Some classic moments such as when Dorothy calls for a taxi in a man's voice because "she" is not heard as a woman.

Music - OK 2.5

Visuals - OK 2.5

Edge - Risqué 2.3

Sex Titillating 2.5

Lots of women that are half dressed and the like.

Violence Gentle 1.5

Rudeness Profane 3.0

Reality - Surreal 2.3

Not very realistic. Would a man posing as a woman be able to switch back and forth fast enough? I don’t think so.

Circumstantial - Surreal 3.0

Biological - Glib 2.0

Physical - Glib 2.0
