Graduate

Pros: Story, meaning, characters, performances, humor, dialogue, direction, rebellion.

Cons: S&G does play a bit too often.

The Bottom Line: is graduating in less than two years.

Review: For a movie so commonly labeled a classic, The Graduate has its fair share of haters. "Katherine Ross is just playing her part," the miscreants say. "The ending is melodramatic. Mrs. Robinson is the only cool character. Reprises of the same Simon ...

Pros: Acting, direction, cinematography, Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack, script

Cons: NADA!

The Bottom Line: A classic.

Review: I think the film, The Graduate, will forever be remembered as the film that brought Dustin Hoffman into stardom. Although he has a fair number of films under his belt now, his first major acting role was in this film. The Graduate is...

Pros: The Graduate is funny, interesting and wrong.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: The Graduate is worth seeing once and worth buying for Simon and Garfunkel fans.

Review: Ben: Look, maybe we could do something else together. Mrs. Robinson, would you like to go to a movie? Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock Katharine Ross as Elaine Robinson The Graduate 1967 The ...

Pros: Hilarious script and performances, remarkably direction

Cons: Too few to mention

Review: Mike Nichols' pitch perfect coming-of-age comedy is as relevant to society today as it was thirty years ago. The hilarious, poignant, symbolic script that criticizes, in its way, everything from the wealthy to the church, changed the way comedies...

Pros: Direction, script, humor, acting, and the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: The best movie ever made about the transition from being a teenager to being an adult.

Review: In his 1997 re-review of THE GRADUATE, Roger Ebert wrote that the movie is ”about a young man of limited interest, who gets a chance to sleep with the ranking babe in his neighborhood, and throws it away in order to marry her dorky daughter.” A ...

Pros: Anne Barncroft, Dustin Hoffman, Katherine Ross, Funny, Timeless

Cons: I haven't found any

The Bottom Line: You can just soak it in again and again, a real American classic

Review: The Graduate was made in 1967, the same year I was born, so I consider it is of particularly fine vintage. I had watched this film a number of times in the past, but noticed that it had not been on recently. When I saw it for sale on Amazon for only £ ...

Pros: Honest, Brilliant Acting(D.H/A.B) and Directing, Wonderful Soundtrack

Cons: Can seem a bit extended, slow, Katharine Ross's one-dimensional blandness

The Bottom Line: View with an open mind, and you'll surely be affected.

Review: Review of the Graduate Summary: Benjamin Braddock, recent graduate of a prestigious east coast ...

Pros: One of the best comedies of the 20th Century!

Cons: The movie is tooooo short!

The Bottom Line: There's a reason why certain movies withstand the test of time. See The Graduate and you'll know why.

Review: Most comedies don't stand the test of time. What seems funny at one time, seems silly years later. The Graduate is the exception to the rule. It is extremely well written, well acted, and has plenty of tasteful comedy. There's no crude humor in this comed ...

Pros: Story, soundtrack, performances by Hoffman and Bankroft

Cons: the overusage of songs on the soundtrack

Review: It's easy to see the cultural impact 1967's "The Graduate" has left. From "Wayne's World" to The Simpsons, many people have bitten and used one of the most famous movie endings ever. This comedy/drama, based on the Charles Webb novel,...

Pros: A classic

Cons: None

Review: I saw this movie at first because I am very familiar with Berkeley and some of the story is based on Hoffman following Bancroft's daughter, played by Katharine Ross, to her apartment in Berkeley.

This movie is great because it carries off...
