Part road trip. Part family drama. Part autistic character study. Yes, 80's Best Picture Oscar winner, Rain Man, was all of these things and more. That rare combination of crowd pleaser and critical darling, the Dustin Hoffman - Tom Cruise flick charmed all. Decades later though, with a deeper collective understanding of autism, is this a road trip worth taking twice? Is Cruise's "Charlie" now too cruel to be cool? Is Hoffman's "Raymond" the film's only good guy or is he a screenwriter's gimmick? The Old Roommates put on their Kmart underwear and revisit the top-grossing movie of 1988.
