100The Graduate is a flawlessly acted and produced film. [Review of re-release]
-
100The funniest American comedy of the year.
-
100Dustin Hoffman gives the inspired performance that launched his movie career, and director Mike Nichols shows a gift for social satire that has never glistened quite so brightly since. [Review of re-release]
-
Funny, outrageous, and touching, The Graduate is a sophisticated film that puts Mr. Nichols and his associates on a level with any of the best satirists working abroad today.
-
90The Graduate is a delightful, satirical comedy-drama about a young man's seduction by an older woman, and the measure of maturity which he attains from the experience.
-
Hoffman and Bancroft are phenomenally cast in a script co-written by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham that is by turns sly, touching, and amazingly fresh 30 years later. [Review of re-release]
-
70The light ribbing of conspicuous consumption in southern California and the Simon and Garfunkel songs on the sound track both play considerable roles in giving this depthless comedy some bounce. [Review of re-release]
-
50The Graduate is not subtle in its writing off of the parental generation as hopelessly corrupt. [Review of re-release]
-
50What was once an all-important signpost to adulthood is really little more than a simple romantic comedy whose "countercultural" message, insofar as it has one, is decidedly retrograde. [Review of re-release]
-
40The screenplay, which begins as genuine comedy, soon degenerates into spurious melodrama.

It was a definitive movie for the times but now painful to watch. The end is ridiculous.
