Tootsie - 1982 ****

What a hilarious film.

Dustin Hoffman plays an unemployed actor who has a bad reputation in the business and realises that the only way he is going to get on television is if he disguises himself... as a woman!

Dustin Hoffman is almost unrecognisable as 'Dorothy' the wise-cracking and sharp talking character from the hospital soap opera who won't take any nonsense from anyone.

Jessica Lange plays his love interest who is blissfully unaware of the mixed-gender issue and sees 'Dorothy' as an amazing friend.

Brilliant movie, I was in stitches many times!

Little Fockers - 2010 ****

You don't have to think and analyse with this movie, you just watch it and have a laugh at the great cast. De Niro is great as always as well as Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.

Gaylord Focker is now the father of 2, living with Pam in a lovely looking house, thinking he has finally made peace with his father-in-law Jack. Throw in some ridiculous episodes involving Gaylord's new work collegue (Jessica Alba) and Jack is convinced his son-in-law is playing away and sets about trying to break up the marriage. Again.

I don't know whether Jessica Alba really adds much to the movie. I mean she is funny but she's a pretty dire actress, and when I mention her alongside the greats that I mentioned above it seems wrong. There are countless other female actors who coudl have taken her place.

Any way, it's fine, it's funny, and it has a hilarious scene involving Robert De Niro's ...erm... tackle. Worth watching for that alone.
