Dustin Hoffmann stars as a recent college graduate whose uneasy affair with an older women (whose also a friend of his parents), becomes even weirder and more complicated when he falls madly in love with her daughter.
Smashing the prudish production code of the time, this groundbreaking comedy of sexual manners, proved Hollywood could approach controversial topics in an adult and sophisticated fashion.
Definitively one of the greatest comedies ever made.
Investigation finished: 2000-12-16
Story: 9/10 - Based on the novel by Charles Webb, slightly better than Porky's.
Acting: 10/10 - Hoffmann excels as an aimless recent college graduate, and no one can look as good as Kathrine Ross.
Violence: 0/10 - In a Mike Nichols movie, I think not.
Nudity: 0/10 - Slightly less than Porky's, obviously not important back in those days.
Coolness: 9/10 - This movie has cool written all over it, especially when uncool Hoffmann plunge into the family swimming pool, cocooned in scuba gear and deaf to the conflicting advice of his parents' self-satisfied, careerist friends.
Skid-marks: 5/10 - Love that car, Hoffmann. Love it...
...a litle something from our surveilance?
