I really wish that I could say that this film is horribly dated. I REALLY wish I could say that. But sadly, the only thing dated here is the decor, costumes and that silly "Tootsie" song. Everything this film has to say about feminism, sexism, consent, Hollywood, gender, sexuality and identity are all still extremely relevant. In fact, this movie almost feels like it was designed for right now. This should be showing on TV as regularly as Road House or whatever the current flavor of the month on cable is. Perhaps the fact that it's a comedy is keeping people from taking it seriously? But then try imagining this film without comedy. That might just be too depressing to handle. Dorothy Michaels for President!
