    An undisputed classic with an incredible award-winning performance from Dustin Hoffman, this is another of my favourite movies. Delving into the little-addressed issue of autism and Asperger's syndrome, Hoffman shines and is absolutely astonishing as Raymond Babbitt. There's not ...( read more)a lot I can say about this movie, it's utterly wonderful.

    This movie did a spectacular job of humanizing autistics to the mainstream by using emotional circumstance and humor. This movie is a testament to the versatility of Dustin Hoffman as a performer. And the authentic fart in the telephone booth didn't hurt the star rating either.

    Another overrated (but still good) best picture winner. Dustin Hoffman's performance is what really lifts the film up. I am not a fan of Tom Cruise, and felt his wooden and insincere performance brought the film down. Well produced in every way.

    One of Tom Cruise's best performances as well as Dustin Hoffman's. It doesn't sugarcoat the reality of autism, but it manages to depict the reality and the many pluses and minuses.

    I love this movie, but that's because I have a family member that is Autistic and reminds me of Raymond. The story is good & touching. Tom Cruise is a hottie.

    Good movie. Dustin Hoffman's performance is so captivating, you get distracted from the actual story. Rain Man can be slow at times, but it's worthwhile in the end.

    it's a rare film which can make tom cruise likeable, however, rain man succeeds, in the end. dustin hoffmans shows that he really is a genius with raymond, tom cruise's autistic older brother. he's anexcellent driver

    Raymond: Of course I don't have my underwear. I'm definitely not wearing my underwear.
    Charlie: I gave you a fresh pair of mine to wear. Where are they?
    Raymond: They're in the pocket of my jacket. Here.
    Charlie: I don't want them back.
    Raymond: These are not boxer shorts. Mi...( read more)ne are boxer shorts. These are Hanes 32.
    Charlie: Underwear is underwear, Ray.
    Raymond: My boxer shorts have my name and it says Raymond.
    Charlie: All right, when we pass the store, we'll pick you up a pair of boxer shorts.
    Raymond: I get my boxer shorts at K-Mart in Cincinnati.
    Charlie: We're not going back to Cincinnati, Ray, so don't even start with that.

    Its a road trip/buddy movie that features long lost brothers traveling together for sketchy reasons. That's simply put, but this film works due to its lead performances and Barry Levinson's direction, especially for the way the film doesn't feel like we have to like it just because its about a handicapped person.

    Tom Cruise stars as asshole, fast talking, car salesman Charlie Babbitt. This is a cold, unhappy man, with his own business that he keeps afloat barely by using his yuppie skills on the phone. On the way to Palm Springs with his girlfriend Susanna, played by Valeria Golino, Charlie receives a call that his father has died. There's gonna be a delay in the fun weekend.

    Upon arriving back home for the funeral, Charlie reveals that he hasn't spoken to his father for twenty years, after they had a falling out. Upon having the will read to him, Charlie learns that someone else receives the family fortune. With a little more work, Charlie learns that the money is going to an older brother he didn't even knew he had.

    This brother is Raymond, played by Dustin Hoffman, who is a high function autistic savant. Charlie soon decides that he will take his brother out of the institution he has been living in, in an effort to claim half the inheritance for himself. What follows is a cross country journey (since Raymond wont fly) that leads to the toleration and eventual growth of love that Charlie will develop for Raymond.

    Charlie: What you have to understand is, four days ago he was only my brother in name. And this morning we had pancakes.

    I can't say I like Cruise's character (although he grew on me as the film went on), but I did like the performance. its a very "Tom Cruise" performance, but it works well here. Hoffman is just wonderful and I once again try to stress that its not just a "here's an actor playing a mentally challenged person," I generally liked everything about how Hoffman approached playing this character and how the story treats him.

    As a whole, the movie follows a formula of sorts, but it does it very well. I enjoyed how everything played out and how Cruise's character develops. Raymond does too, but in much subtler ways. Levinson also makes sure to deliver a well made feature in terms of its technical aspects. The shots of the two traveling together in the convertible are good looking and a number of long takes, usually involving Raymond reacting to something add as well. The score by Hans Zimmer definitely grew on me as the film went on.

    A very good film overall.

    Dr. Bruner: Raymond, wouldn't you feel more relaxed in your favorite K-Mart clothes?
    Charlie: Tell him, Ray.
    Raymond: K-Mart sucks.
    Dr. Bruner: Oh, I see.

    The movie that got me to take Tom Cruise seriously. In many ways, he outdoes Dustin Hoffmann.
