"Kramer vs. Kramer" is a great film, even today. It has Ted Kramer, played by Dustin Hoffman, and his wife, Joanna, played by Meryl Streep. The Kramers are going through this marriage every day at a time, until Joanna decides to leave Ted and their son, Billy, played by Justin Henry. Ted is forced to take care of his son alone while they settle their divorce. This was one of the first times a father was taking care of their children as a single parent. So he did not know exactly what to do, but he loved him, and did not like how Joanna was acting. They have to deal with this terrible circumstance.
This film deserves a lot of credit because it did win many awards. Meryl Streep won for Best Supporting Actress and Dustin Hoffman won for Best Actor. Also, Jane Alexander and Justin Henry were nominated for supporting actress and supporting actor. It also won Best Picture. Dustin Hoffman was spectacular in this film, like most of his roles. He is an incredible actor and really is one of the best ever put on screen. Also, Meryl Streep might be the best actress ever put on film. Almost every single role she was received, she received an Oscar nomination. Some people might say, she got nominated because she is Meryl Streep but she is spectacular. This film is great go see it.
