Tin Men is a terrific movie. Great performances by Dreyfuss and Devito, but the supporting characters are even better! Someone else said that they don't make em like this anymore and they were right. There's nothing EXTREME about this film, and it's not laced with profanity or nudity - just great writing performed by great actors. The viewer is transported back to the 1960's for a few hours and it's a nice journey with lots of laughs! You will not be disappointed - One of my all-time favorite movies.
April 19, 2008I've watched this movie at least 30 times and it's just as entertaining as it was the first time I watched it. This recent purchase was for a friend and she loved it too.
November 15, 2007Levinson's second homage to his hometown of Baltimore (after the superb "Diner") is a vivid, side-splitting movie with terrific star turns and ensemble playing. Both Dreyfuss and DeVito go to town as stylistic opposites and natural adversaries, with John Mahoney, Seymour Cassel, and Bruno Kirby (among others) lending priceless support as fellow tin men on both sides of the conflict. Only Barbara Hershey feels miscast as Ernest's fed-up spouse, but fine actress that she is, she makes the best of it. A winning comedy with plenty of soul and heart, "Tin Men" is pure gold.
July 10, 2007What a great film! It captures the spirit of Baltimore in that era perfectly.
February 10, 2007If this is not one of the most underrated comedies, I don't know what is. Asides from being a comedy, Tin Men is expertly effective in capturing the ups and downs as well as the tension of being a salesman/con artist. The movie also does a beautiful job in capturing the Baltimor of the 1960's with the lingo, the clothes, and the scenery. Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfuss play the roles of two aluminum siding salesmen from rival companies. A car accident between the two open's the door to an array of hilarious maladies between the two - from busting up each other's cars to BB (Dreyfuss) sleeping with Tielly's (DeVito) wife. The storyline is great, the actors are excellent, and the movie overall is flawless. I must have watched the DVD over ten times by now!
