The Graduate is simply one of the most well known and beloved movies of all time. A shockingly young (as compared with today) Dustin Hoffman plays Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate struggling to find a place for himself in the real world.

"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?" A lot of people were seduced by the charms of both "The Graduate" and "Easy Rider" in the late sixties, two very different films with similar themes about the alienation of youth. Of the two, ...read the complete Graduate movie review at DVD Town (John J. Puccio)

Looking back at The Graduate, I see much the same criticism applying to Nichols' film. In the end, Ben and Elaine have hardly escaped the fate of following in their parents' footsteps, but only delayed the pattern. In ...read the complete Graduate movie review at ToxicUniverse.com (John Nesbit)
Graduate, The (1967) scores a combined 3.25 out of 4 stars for Long Che Chan Long Che Chan
By the end, I got the notion that this was a simple conventional love story made unconventional by all the sexual comedy. I think that is what The Graduate is. It is no masterpiece but it certainly is a heck of a film. The sardonic sexual coloring of the ...read the complete Graduate movie review at Long Che Chan

Mike Nichols' brilliantly filmed The Graduate once spoke more powerfully than it does today.

Modish, calculated, but hugely popular film which, with the help of an irrelevant but diverting Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack, proved one of the biggest hits of the '60s. Hoffman, looking for the most part like a startled rabbit, got caught between the ...read the complete Graduate movie review at Time Out

So here's to The Graduate, 30 years old and still looking good, though it all seems pretty innocent at this stage of pre-millenium, post-modern, worldweary civilization. The Graduate arrived just on the cusp of fullblown, late 60's counter culture, and ...read the complete Graduate movie review at Movie Magazine International

to anyone seeing it for the first time, "The Graduate" must seem as dated as "Stagecoach." A boy, a Mrs. Robinson, something about plastics. Dustin Hoffman's unlined face.
