Ah, lovely. I remember having already seen a child with my father, a great fan of Dustin Hoffman, but I had completely forgotten the wonderful world of soap opera that is the background to the film.
Tootsie is in fact an actress of television drama, those horrid American meatloaf filmed in hospitals with bad players and worse textures.
But to make a change to Southwest General (not-too-veiled parody of General Hospital ) thinks Dorothy Michaels, an 'actress bizarre, which is actually an actor, whose real name is Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman in fact). Being without work and without money, agrees to put in a drawer and his professionalism as an actor to dress as a woman to work in a very bad product of trash TV.
The disguise is nothing short of fantastic (not as ... damn Misses Doubtfire Patch Adams) and its role in the soap is suitable for panel, but Michael, if he thought it was an experience only temporary, did not come to terms with the audience, who begins to love the character Dorothy to the point where the contract is renewed for one year. On the set makes friends with Julie (Jessica Lange, oh, she's beautiful) and needless to say that you fall in love with her ...
Basically it is a romantic comedy, but not very veiled indictment of television and its lack of professionalism, that Michael / Dorothy tries to expose the inside, taking him trick used most in history, that of the game of disguise and misunderstanding.
I'm not going to say even how many awards he won, I'm not saying that some jokes are not obvious, but I liked it, I found it quite good, but I worship Dustin Hoffman since de The Graduate ...
