Levinson'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.

What a great film! It captures the spirit of Baltimore in that era perfectly.

If 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!

Tin Men is a gem. If you have ever been a sales person or been around them, especially door-to-door sales, you may recognize these characters. Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito are Tin Men - that is aluminum siding salesmen who end up competing against each other for more than sales. They are hilarious anyway but together and with this script, VERY funny. This is a time capsule of the old-time salesman with the constant patter full of jokes and flattery, the consumer cons and sunny attitude toward a new day full of prospects. The "intellectual" discussion amongst the salesmen over Senor Wences and over the realism of Bonanza are priceless. Of note is one of the all-too-few appearances by J. T. Walsh as their sales manager. There is an additional audio track on this dvd with Levinson, Hershey, Cassel, Dreyfuss, Kirby, etc. discussing the making of the film. With at least four of his films taking place in Baltimore, I wonder if Levinson and John Waters have ever met?

We found Tin Men to be visually lush with beautifully photographed Cadillac fins, subtly amusing dialogue, and scenes that flowed naturally. It could be viewed just to hear the music, which was wonderful. The interesting story line even had "heart" without being maudlin. It will always be one of our favourites.
