Dustin Hoffman's 8 Lowest-Scoring Movies

Dustin Hoffman's floor is most actors' ceiling. His bottom eight by movie.guru score starts at 8.7. We roast anyway, with love.

Number one made over half a billion dollars. You'll still argue with me.

1. 8
   Rain Man (1988)8.7

   His bottom eight opens at 8.7. Rude to everyone else.

   A 93% audience beat and $354.8M worldwide on a reported $25M. Guru's Take is 6.6, though, because the road trip coasts once you learn its rhythm.
2. 7
   Tuner (2025)8.5

   Hoffman as the old pro in 2025 still steals scenes.

   94% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 75 Metacritic, then just $14.6M worldwide on a reported $7M. The best movie here that almost nobody saw.
3. 6
   Sleepers (1996)7.1

   Audiences carried this one way past the critics.

   Critics beat 40%, audiences 88%. Metacritic 49, IMDb 7.5. Heavy material, a stacked cast, and a courtroom stretch that drags its feet.
4. 5
   Stranger than Fiction (2006)7.1

   The most underrated thing Will Ferrell ever made.

   Hoffman as the professor is the secret weapon. Guru's Take 7.6, but $53.7M worldwide on a reported $30M means most people skipped it.
5. 4
   Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)6.6

   Weirdest movie on this list, and the world got it first.

   $2,223,293 domestic versus $135M worldwide. America basically ghosted it. Critics beat 43%, audiences 76%, and Hoffman looks like he's having the most fun in the room.
6. 3
   Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)5.7

   Shifu deserved better than franchise autopilot.

   $547.9M worldwide on a reported $85M, so the studio is thrilled. Guru's Take 5.2. Fourth trip to the same valley, same lessons, louder.
7. 2
   Hook (1991)5.6

   Nostalgia is doing heavy lifting on this one.

   37% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 30% critics beat. Hoffman chews scenery on a reported $70M budget. Kids still handed it an A minus CinemaScore.
8. 1
   Meet the Fockers (2004)3.9

   Half a billion dollars, and it's still his worst.

   $522.7M worldwide, yet a 3.9 movie.guru score and 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. Hoffman and Streisand are the best part. The jokes are one last name on repeat.

$2,713 says you defend #1 in the comments, then quietly admit you've seen it four times.
