Boston Globe Michael Blowen
Tootsie, the story of a man who liberates himself by masquerading as a woman, is the funniest, most revealing comedy since "Annie Hall." [17 Dec 1982]
Time Richard Schickel
This year's miracle is called Tootsie. It is not just the best comedy of the year; it is popular art on the way to becoming cultural artifact.
Read Full Review >Variety Todd McCarthy
Remarkably funny and entirely convincing, film pulls off the rare accomplishment of being an in-drag comedy which also emerges with three-dimensional characters.
Read Full Review >Empire Staff (Not Credited)
As hilarious as it is touching and tasteful at the same time, Tootsie will offend no one and uplift anyone who watches it.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Staff (Not Credited)
Rather than confront what it sets up, it takes the one joke and runs - till it runs out of steam.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Dave Kehr
There are several solid laughs and some excellent supporting performances. But this is a film to be wary of.
