This moving tale is particularly relevant because it involves two unknown brothers who find each other. The acting is superb and is one of Dustin Hoffman's greatest roles. His character is so convincing and straightforward. The plot is full of irony and has an inherited three million dollar fortune to provide motivation for Hoffman's brother. The film keeps your interest and you want to know just how they can cope with the real world. This is a film that you will want to watch more than once to capture the significance of the story and appreciate it as a work of art.

This movie is a very touching movie... especially for those with a loved one with Autism. I myself have Autism, and understand what this man "Rayman" is going through. It can teach loved one and friends who know a person/are related to somebody with Autism many things about the disorder. In this movie, however, "Rayman" is a very gifted and talented man with Autism. It shows how he and his brother struggle with day to day things that can occur with the handicap. I do recommend this movie, especially for any family with a loved one with Autism. I also recommend this DVD for young adults and adults with Autism! I rated this movie a 4 out of 5! This movie also has a lot of sad parts in it, for those of you who are wondering!
Excellent movie from award winning actors about a realistic view of autism as it affects the lives of loved ones. An engaging movie that follows a great story line with never a dull moment. Worth watching multiple times to pick up on all of the notable lines from the writer. For instance, at the beginning of the movie, Charlie Babbit (Tom Cruise) uses the word "definitely" a lot and you hear Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) use that word throughout the movie, helping to make yet another connection of their family similarity.

RAIN MAN is AN AWESOME FILM!! It is an older film(80's) that has been digitally remastered on DVD. We have loved this movie since it was first introduced, back in the day. Dustin Hoffman plays an Autistic Adult, and Tom Cruise plays his long lost brother, whom he never knew existed. The come together at a time when their father passes. At first their relationship is quite distant and unknown, with Cruise having other intentions. Once they begin to spend a day or two togther, their emotions grow on each other, and they develope a long-lost bond. Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise PLAY EXCEPTIONAL PARTS, as well as other great faces which make this movie come together. AN EXCELLENT FILM!!! A LOT OF ACTION, VERY VERY INTERESTING, VERY WELL WRITTEN, A MUST SEE!! Also, all of the music fits very well into the movie, making it memorable. Rent It or Buy It? If you havent seen it, BUY IT!! Most of us that have seen it, own it! Its a CLASSIC you'll be sure to watch over and over! Our Overall Rating: 10/10 WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!! We hope that you found this Review helpful!

Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise combine in a moving redemption drama that raises a host of questions about the nature of loyalty and love. Opening scenes show Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) to be an unprincipled hustler without either quality. As the film unrolls, the seeds of both are planted and his self-interest and self-absorption turn to something more charitable. Greed and a desire for confrontation are supplanted by an altruistic spirit, a desire to protect and, for want of a longer word, by love. Motive and goals, loyalty and love, dispassion and engagement are examined in different situations from the bedroom to the casino. Hoffman gives a remarkable performance as an idiot savant; Tom Cruise plays Tom Cruise; Maria Colino plays a tough but sympathetic role as Charlie Babbitt's girlfriend. Music by Hans Zimmer is predictably excellent; the hand of Barry Levinson is firmly in control. A great film to own and to revisit.Read full review
