Customer Reviews of Tin Men
Barry Levinston Classic Barry Levinson's movies all have one thing in common--their all excellent. And this one definitely proves it.
It's 1962 Baltimore (kind of like the movie "Diner"), and the Cadilac is the latest craze among tin men. Two opposites (Devito and Dreyfuss) regrettably meet in a fender bender, and hate each other and try to get back at each other in various ways. By smashing windows, kicking in headlights, and...stealing wives. One wife at least-- Danny DeVito's. Well I guess it's all part of a Tin Man's life. And it's captured so hilariously in this movie.
The DVD is finally coming, with some great features.

A great laugher
If you wanna kick back, relax, and really have a great laugh, this is the movie for ya, bud. Set in the early 60s in Baltimore, it tells the tale of two tin men--aluminum siding salesmen, played by Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfuss--whose run-in from an accidental car bump involving each other's Cadillacs (the salesman's prize car) mushrooms into an all-out getting even free-for-all, complete with car window smashing, wife stealing, and egg pelting.
OK, then ya got your detailed discussions of why none of the male characters in the Bonanza TV show ('member that one?) ever talk about gettin' any, and other sacred topics of discussion, all rendered in pitch-perfect Baltimorese, as well as the Home Improvement Commisssion, the IRS, and office politics--all done up by a really talented buncha guys like Seymour Cassel, J.T. Walsh (my fave!), John Mahoney, Bruno Kirby, and the hilarious Jackie Gayle--and you have one heckuva great film.
The emotional stuff is really well done--not stupid or schlocky--and the funny stuff is really funny. Yeah, there is emotional stuff, when the Richard Dreyfuss character, BB, steals Tilly (Danny DeVito's) wife played by Barbara Hershey and he falls for her, pretty hard. This is one film that does a great job of blending the emotional and the funny stuff perfectly. Not only that, but here DeVito is himself absolutely perfect as the selfish guy only somebody just like him could really love and Dreyfuss is great too.
They don't make comedies like this any more, and when you realize this was made about 15 years ago, that's pretty sad. With Wag the Dog, this is definitely one of Barry Levinson's best films--
have a ball!
TERRIBLE MOVIE
I'd give this movie a negative star if I could. AVOID this movie. It's terrible. Not one positive thing could be said about this movie.
