RAIN MAN – OK… righ…. Rain Man… it’s got Tom Cruise in it, and he’s all right, he’s normal, but he finds out he’s got a brother who’s a bit mad. Dustin Hoffman is doing it, right, and it’s meant to be, he’s all weird but he’s meant to be, so it’s good acting. Now, he – oh, God – he needs to keep his brother but they don’t want him to have a brother, and he doesn’t remember a lot but he dropped him in the bath and burned him when he was little. Clumsy idiot! But then he finds out he can make a bit of money so they get the same suits, and they go, “bet two for good, one …”, because he’s got special powers, so he can know what the, what the roulette. And he wins that and he drops them toothpicks. He knows how many there are, and he recognises the waitress he saw through the book. He’s got all his football cards. Don’t put them out of order. Don’t go in the telephone box with him he smells, and get him back in time for Jeopardy or watch it. Anyway, then he’ll slap his head and get worried. Qantas don’t crash, so he’s got all that and in the end he doesn’t, I don’t thin, but they’ll, at least, they’ve met each other.” - comedian Ricky Gervais’s review of Rain Man.
