IMDB

A recent college graduate returns home. After a party, he is asked to take his parents' drunk friend, Mrs. Robinson, home. He does and she attempts to seduce him. Then he calls her up later and they begin an affair. He then falls for her daughter, which is weird and complicates things greatly.
Dustin Hoffman gives on of the greatest comedic performances of all time in this film. It is so understated and straight-faced. The directing/cinematography are also fantastic. This movie is a classic and one of my favorites. I'm glad I watched it tonight, especially after sitting through Corvette Summer last night. My wife saw it for the first time and really enjoyed it.

10/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
