Jayzon Mar 17 One of the best films of all time See more Dc D @Donnaet 6d Flawless from start to finish. Not a missed note. How they even got the kid to become Billy was a feat in and of itself. Master class all around. See more tim G @timg8747 Jun 25 i really liked kramer vs kramer where meryl streep plays the wife of dustin hoffman who leaves her husband and son and hoffman has to take care of son on his own and ends up in a custody battle in the end ,dustin hoffman earned his oscar for his performance as the single father ted kramer also i felt that howard duff who played hoffmans attorney deserved a nomination for his performance See more BGM E @Expose Jun 22 I was shocked by the horrendous screenplay. The abusive father Hoffman is playing is nauseating. I remember liking it when it was first released but it hasn’t aged well. Hoffman plays a narcissistic, fake parent. What in the world? Dreadful. If this is what parents were like in the 70s, it explains a lot about our society. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Apr 30 Success in 1 hour and 44 minutes. All ages admitted. The worldwide gross is $173,000,000.00 over a budget of $8,000,000.00. See more Daniel M @RT53097422 Apr 2 This film has several core film memories from whisking eggs, getting a job in 24 hours, a father running with an injured son in his arms and lastly the line, "We're gonna be okay." Hoffman and Justin Henry are spectacular. Streep is good, her character, Joanna, is underwritten. Joanna is unhappy she hasn't gone back to work and being a mother is now the expectation. She abandons her child so she can regather herself and go find work? Something tells me Ted would have been okay with Joanna going back to work. Sometimes it takes a woman to leave for a man to wake up, but that doesn't justify the abandonment. And Ted surely wouldn't have had a relationship with Billy if Joanna hadn't left. Hoffman's energetic performance shows a hardworking and distant father with a beautiful arc. I was certainly motivated to go to work the next day. See more Read all reviews
