Rain Man (1988) Review

Rain Man is a car trip about two characters.  But that alone wouldn't make the film special. The plot motivator is that they are brothers who have never met and one brother is autistic. And they are played by two well-known and talented actors. So with great casting comes great performances. Rain Man is not short of it with both actors acting just as well as each other. Raymond keeps up watching with his genius skills and his fits. Charlie keeps us watching with his reactions to those. And in certain situations, its movie magic. But it isn't always. The rest of the movie characters are annoying and bring us away from the chemistry between cruise and Hoffman. The only thing the film has going for it is the great chemistry between the leads,  and while its good, it can't make an amazing film. The ending was completely full of disapointment and slightly ruins the car trip. Rain Man is fun and pleasant, but it's not memorable.
Movie Rating: B
