The Graduate 4/10 - Maybe this was a big deal back in 1967 when it was produced, but now it's so dated, and Hoffman's character is so immature and whiny, that it's almost unwatchable. Halfway though, I turned to Seamaiden and asked if Hoffman goes insane at the end of the movie, and she replied to the effect that we might! It's hard to believe that his character was supposed to have graduated college, because he's such a little boy, someone tells him no, and the next five minutes are filled with him whining, "Why? Why not? Why can't I" However, it gets the 4 rating cause of one great scene in which Hoffman is lying on a raft in his pool, while his parents swim around him, bugging him to ask out his lover's daughter. Talk about suffocating!
