In the film in the film Tom Cruise plays a self-absorbed car salesman. Who owes money to just about everybody. He's on his way to Palm Springs with his girlfriend. When he finds out that his father passed away. After the reading of the will he gets next to nothing. This puts him into a frenzy. As the movie progresses he finds out that he has a brother. His brother is autistic. Charlie believes that he's owed something more than he got from his father's will. He's so self obsessed with his own problems he doesn't stop to think about what's best for Raymond. Charlie realizes that Raymond has a special gift for memorization. He tries to use that to his advantage. Later in the movie he finds out that Raymond is Rain Man. Charlie has a change of heart about Raymond. And finally decides to do the right thing. This movie is heartfelt & heartwarming. Dustin Hoffman playing Raymond it's one of the best performances of his career. Tom Cruise as Charlie Babbitt plays the part perfectly.

There are few movies that are so important they define a generation. This is one of them. A true coming-of-age tale that many can relate to in one way or another, and the more we learn about mental illness the more important films like this are that show just how multi-faceted it can be.

A comedy that brings you to tears when the credits role. A breathtaking and moving film with such fantastic acting from both lead roles, with Tom Cruise showcasing that he can be more than a blockbuster protagonist who runs and jumps. It is a lost gem, and I hope it gains more attention as years go on.

A great, heartwarming story with top-notch performances by every lead.

A clever script with an incredibly lovable character.

A movie everyone should watch at least once.

Uma comédia dramática surpreendente que retrata as mudanças na vida de um homem que inesperadamente descobre ter um irmão mais velho que depende dele por ser neuro divergente e que sua fortuna será revertida para a caridade. Envolvente, interessante, engraçado.

Great acting by Hoffman, for personal reasons I know the importance of brotherhood in dramatic situations like this, I like it a lot.

A wonderful, moving movie about friendship and love with incredible acting by Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.

Great actors with great acting. The movie story though is quite tacky in parts - never in this day and age (nor country) would money be held by a trust nor trustee, and would go straight to the rightfully named (written) will beneficiary [in that story, that being Raymond].

Special Effects: 1,0/Sound Effects: 1,0/Acting: 1,0/Story: 2,0

Impressive casting and performances that certainly deserved the awards and Oscars that the film received as a whole.Its atmosphere and soundtrack definitely disappointed me though.Her plot, however, was definitely the most realistic and moving I've seen!

Great acting, great script, and soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Can't beat it.

one of the best movies ive seen in a while

A spectacular Dustin Hoffman in this one. This film has to be my favourite road movie, I cherish it since childhood.

one my favorite movies since im a kid.

Great acting and decently funny. Although the story isn't jaw-dropping .

This is a really good film. Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman give great performances that make you feel attached to their characters. The plot is good with plenty of memorable scenes and qoutes. A good 80's classic.

Pretty good movie. I'm surprised it took me so long to watch.

I don't need to be the one to tell you how great this movie is. It won Best Picture at the Oscars in 1989 and Dustin Hoffman won Best Actor. Those Oscars are very deserved as this is a great film. One thing I find really interesting is how Tom Cruise didn't get an Oscar nomination. Dustin Hoffman won Best Actor and everyone heaps praise on him but Tom Cruise's performance is incredible. As amazing as Dustin Hoffman's performance is, Raymond Babbitt doesn't show any character development or growth throughout the movie and he doesn't have a character arc. Tom Cruise's character changes completely and he portrays it so well. He begins the movie with one personality and ends it with another It's easily one of the best performances of his career. I'm surprised it doesn't get mentioned more. The film itself is extremely good. It's led by some fantastic performances and the characters are very interesting and I enjoy watching them. I'd recommend this to anyone and it really did deserve that Best Picture win.
