Very good. Probably Tom Cruise's best movie (which I know isn't saying a whole lot).
Hoffman is awesome in it!

Wow I thought everyone saw that movie. Tom Cruise plays his usual smug a**hole cocky bas**ard and has an exotic car dealership that is quickly going under, at that same time, he finds out his estranged but wealthy father died but left him only an antique Buick (which he loved) but no other inheratance, which had been left to someone at a Mental health facility. Well he finds out that the person is (Dustin Hoffman) his brother that was waaaaayyyyy older than him, but is Autistic and left at the home. Charlie (Cruise) is pissed that he a) has a brother he never knew about and b) that the brother got the inheratance. So Charlie takes Ray out and about and learns of his counting ability, then thinks hey I am ganna exploit this guy for my benifit and head to vegas and get the money I need for my business. Well he does, and the "home" is pissed that he Kidnapped Ray and now wants custody of Ray. Well Its a character study and a great movie, It's funny and has tender moments It is worth renting, and I wont give away why its called Rain Man you will have to watch it and you should.

An excellent movie. Interestingly, word is that Hoffman and
Cruise switched roles in mid-shooting by mutual assent. After seeing the film you'll wonder how it could possibly have worked the other way.

10/10 First rate acting. The movie tells the story of a man with autism and his "normal" younger brother without ever feeling emotionally manipulative or exploitative (like some other movies about mental deficiencies). The psychology / psychiatry professionals I've talked to about the movie say it's a very accurate portrayal of autism. I still get teared up watching the end.

Dustin Hoffman played his butt off in that movie he was good . Tom was Tom. But you will quoting Rainman all the time after you watch it. Definitely, time for Jeopardy.
