A Absolute Classic

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2001)

After viewing this film, I fell in love with it! The film not only launched Hoffman as one of the greatest actors of all time, but was a wonderful film that not only was a serious drama, and touching romance, but also a slap-yer-knee funny film! Although it was nominated for Best Picture in 1967, it lost to "In The Heat of the Night," which I haven't seen yet, and can't say if it's better!
What was most enjoyable about the film was how I could relate with Hoffman's shyness. He didn't like being around his parents friends, and the acting was so wonderful to show how bashful he really was.
If you have not seen this film yet, rent it tonight or buy it! You won't regret it!
