There are brains behind the film which allow it to be funny and provocative in its observations on gender roles and womens equality.

Tootsie works for three reasons: a sharp screenplay, good comic timing, and delightful performances.

It all comes together with some sensationally dry humor the kind of comedy that feels natural, realistic, and spontaneous.

Tootsies finely balanced writing is one of the films greatest strengths, being consistently funny without ever turning the central premise into a gag.
