In Kramer Vs. Kramer, you see Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep at the start of their film careers. Don't miss this.

Great movie, but loses half of a star because of the courtroom scenes drama.

Watch this if you plan to watch a “Marriage Story “ film. A better movie with good acting and in comparison it doesn’t feel like you are watching a play.

I saw this film with my mom when my parents were having marital problems. There is a good message here; one that still holds true today. Children are often the most affected by a couple who are going through something like this. Very…

A ubiquitous movie that I've only just discovered. It has stood the test of time and despite the changing make-up of families and responsibilities within them, the subject matter remains relevant. The special features include a making of…

Outstanding list of actors and actresses and gifted thespians. M. Streep is always a joy to watch and listen to. Another classic is Sophie's choice. M. Streep and her coworkers never fail to amaze, and awe-inspire! The Deer Hunter is…

Saw Kramer vs. Kramer in 1980 on flight from London. Thought I was happily married! Divorced in 1984! Now 73, kids are 39, 41,43! Four Grandkids, Son-in-law from Kenya, been there, too! Wife remarried, I'm single! What a journey!

A spectacular effort by the main actors to make both of their characters seem likeable in the context of a tough custody battle. This movie leaves you torn in the best of ways - trying to decide which of the parents is wrong and right - …

Withstands the test of time. Not as mean-spirited as I had remembered it. The DVD commentary was also interesting. Apparently Hoffman was upset with Streep and both were going through very difficult personal issues during the filming.

Usually a movie about divorce leaves me cold. Not so with Kramer Vs. Kramer. Director Robert Benton put a great script in the hands of Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep and eight year old Justin Henry. The result was first time Oscars for…

I am not the biggest fan of the book, "Kramer vs. Kramer", but I was willing to give the movie a try. Overall, I found the movie missing a little bit of charm. Ted (Hoffman) is not a likeable character, and I think the film really misses…

The interactions between Dustin Hoffman's character and his son are natural, deeply capturing the audience's hearts and gazes. There are moments of laughter as well as moments of tears. Hoffman and Streep also successfully portray the bond…

The copy I was able to borrow was scratched up, making the middle and end unwatchable and ruining what seemed to be an extremely well-done, beautiful and moving film. Forrible experience: AVOID!

Very great acting from Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep. The ending could have been better, though.

I saw it as a teenager. At the time it made a big impression on me. So.... 34 years later I wanted to know why. Wow, still a first-rate movie. I think I enjoyed it even more in 2013.

A rather emotional movie about marriage and a child. Streep and Hoffman protrayed their characters well, demonstrating the tensions in the realtionship between a hiusband and wife.

VERY REALISTIC & exceptionally true to present day American matrimony, custody feuds, family wars & endless court-circuses. Kramer Vs Kramer, defines broken families breeding children, leaving the whole family with a life-time broken…

This a must see "modern" classic. Guaranteed not to disappoint.
