I think that 'The Graduate' is one of those movies that you had to be part of the time period to really enjoy. To me the plot seemed to drag itself out a lot longer than it needed to.
Dustin Hoffman is a very good actor, but I'm too used to seeing old Hoffman. Seeing him really young in a movie just threw me off big time. Hoffman's character starts an affair with the neighbor's wife. Then falls in love with her daughter.
I use the word 'love' loosely because he is hooked on her after one date. Which I think is total bullshit. That's a big problem that I have with a lot of movies. If the characters don't take time to build up their affection with each other than I have a hard time believing it. Which was the problem with 'The Graduate' overall. The relationships with the characters were not properly built up.
However the acting was very good, and the plotline itself was creative.
