Twenty years past its release date, Tin Men remains a keeper. Danny DeVito may have worn out his exasperated/enraged small man schtick by now, but in 1987 it was still fresh. Like Diner, Tin Men is set in end-of-an-era Baltimore, 1963, and so much that is in it has disappeared or declined. Crowd noise from old Memorial Stadium fills a part of one scene and the camera captures those brick row houses that lined the streets around the stadium in their prime. The Life Magazine scam scene and the diner and driving riffs on Bonanza are laugh out loud funny. In an excellent cast -- not only of leads, but with some of the era's best supporting players --, Barbara Hershey as the wife caught between the tantrums of shady aluminum siding salesmen stands out. And the fender level camera view of the tin men parking their perfect Cadillacs is auto nostalgia at its best. Overall, Tin Men serves up that nostalgia, but also wry look at human nature, and a well-shot picture of a working and living city into an enduring package. It is one very good movie.

everything is so right about this film, the setting, the music, the acting. Really takes you back to the early 60's with Richard Dreyfuss, Barbara Hershy, Dany DeVito doing some of their finest work. The supporting cast is incredible, John Mahoney, Bruno Kirby, the familiar faces and great work just goes on and on. But it is the writing that really seperates this into the 'special' category. Great writing, great directing amd great acting make for a especially great comedy.

One of my favorite films ever. Following on from `Diner', its quirky humor lies in the everyday banter of the characters, for which the actors seem to have been given freedom to ad lib. Charm and authenticity are added by Levinson's attention to detail, in what is a sixties period movie.
Women be warned. When my sister saw this at the theatre, she was so bored she walked out before the end. My girl friend had a similar reaction when watching at home. At first this puzzled me, as I absolutely loved the film. However, you need to have a male psyche to understand it. The story revolves around two competing male egos and the girl caught in the middle. There are allusions to the male obsession for new cars, the pride that believes you can always beat the other guy at pool, and the `getting the girl' just to prove that you can.
Great characters, innovative directing, and sparkling acting by the lead roles in Dreyfuss, DeVito and Hershey, makes you think that they had a lot of fun making this film.
It's not 'Beaches'. It's not 'Fried Green Tomatoes'. And that's the beauty of it.

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.

I'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.
