I think some women dont give a chance for men to show that they CAN be good fathers. I know a lot of kids dont have dads in there lives...and i was one of them...but i dont believe that all those men didn't WANT to be better fathers...
@LazyRiver0404 *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* The courts order the son to go with his mother, but she sees the connection that her son and father have made and the changes and knows that her son is already home with his father so in the end the dad gets the son.
I grew up without a father and the first time I saw this movie was when I was 13. I hadn't cried in years. It's a truly great movie! To those of you who haven't seen it... you must!
such a hard movie to watch..so heart wrenching. i always wish we could have seen more..does she just leave billy again? do they split the time more evenly?
I was nearly in tears when I saw this. I am a full time single dad too and my son is called Billy !..I actualy first saw it on DVD when My son was the same age as the kid in the film, it wasnt long ago, he is ten now.I can so relate to this film. And that other one with Will Smith.
Why can't Hollywood make movies like this anymore? Because no one has a Soul. The soul is gone. Hollywood is into car explosion, intense sex leaving audiences uncomfortable, and adding absurd lanuage or over use of F Bombs thinking all 6 Billion People on the Planet behave that way.

He was just working so hard to earn a living for them and be a good husband and father. she was such a bitch to him who broke his heart suddenly and left. she's typical of so many women. fair-weather soulmates...
I adore this movie. Dustin Hoffman is real Master of Acting. He did phenomenal job here and call me crazy but I think he is much more talented than a little bit overrated Robert De Niro and Al Pacino (I love them though). Justin Henry played Hoffman's screen son and he was impressive too - amazing acting! Meryl Streep was great
my mom and i watched it like an hour ago and i just wanna say that this movie had us crying near the end. i advice for all families to watch it together :)
@maraypaz Meryl's character leaves her son with Dustin Hoffman. I think she stays in New York so she can be close to her son as Dustin Hoffman says she can visit Billy anytime she wants.
women are better parents because they have something men lack--maternal instinct! That's why, in a divorce, you need to prove the woman is an "unfit" mother to take custody away from her. That's just the way it is--get used to it!!!
i think its a very sexist remark to make as there are all kinds of people in the world and in todays times women are at times equally responsible for failures in marriage due to the increased pressures equity with men has brought about . All marriages break due to a very high number of reasons and not all marriages are results of masculine ingenuinity or faults.
however that said the question that should be considered on deciding the custody of a child/ children who are entrapped between a matrimobial dispute should be decided on a wide scale on an individual basis depending upon the record , health , age , income , type of job , financial status and so many others instead of a straight jacket formula to be proceeded with is what i think of a valid solution although courts worldwide have time and again failed to follow .

Meryl Streep has not aged gracefully, as I can see. Now she looks goofy, or maybe that's just to play the part of Julia or whatever her name is in her new shit cooking movie.
wow.... Kramer vs. Kramer was about raising a family and shit?? From what I heard, and the title, I would've thought it's a cool action film about 2 brothers who are on different sides of the law or some shit. What a ripoff
Of course it is. Though Hoffman gets the opportunity to do the long, expansive character arc in Kramer, Rain Man has a juxtaposition to character development, in Hoffman, while Cruise gives a severely under rated performance that is equal, if not better, to Hoffman's realization in Kramer. I think it's better because I can relate more to family love than I can divorce. But rest assured KvK is a masterpiece and Hoffman gets me on his side in a big way towards the end of Act One.
he didn't want to work with meryl?! i didn't know that! wow... i think i died of shock. he's the first i've heard of who didn't. =/ well... i'd love to work with her. lmao if i had a talented acting bone in my body. =D
Great movie, but Dustin Hoffman didn't like working with Meryl really? Wow. well he sure was lucky if anything. She's the most fabulous actress ever. <33
