Any film that can have the soothing sound of (silence) Simon and Garfunkel is perfect to me. After having been asked to watch this multiple times by my father and his girlfriend, I struggled to see how it could live up to the hype. Add to that the fact I was very hungover from that morning's drinking session and having been in North Wales as well, then this must be a pretty fucking amaze-balls movie. And it is. Dustin Hoffman is perfect in it, as are the two female leads, the legendary Mrs Robinson in particularly, showing that an older woman can still be sexy and beautiful.
The soundtrack is what really makes the film though. I found myself anticipating in great will for the legendary Mrs Robinson to come on, but every other song was still a treat.
An unbeatable classic movie, and a fine piece of soundtrack from one of the most iconic musical duos.
