Perfect movie,
By
This review is from: Tin Men (Widescreen) (DVD)
About a third of the way through Tin Men, B.B. and Moe run the Life magazine scam on a housewife. The three of them stand on her lawn, talking, and in the background another woman walks towards them on the sidewalk. The camera shifts to another angle, and it takes about a second longer than it should for the woman on the sidewalk to come into view. That minor continuity error is the only flaw I can find in this movie.You know from the start that you're in for something special -- the very title sequence is beautiful. The whole movie is eye candy, in fact, with some of the richest colors I've ever seen on screen. The yellows, the blues... And the costumes! Check out what Nora's wearing when B.B. visits her at work. It's a romantic comedy -- B.B., out for revenge, steals Tilley's wife Nora but falls in love with her, not at all what he was after (his partner, Moe, asks if he's never spent consecutive nights with a woman before, and B.B. responds, "Have we met?"). It's a great plot, and a great script with lots of background. There are four scenes in this movie that stand up with anything I've ever seen in a movie: B.B. and Nora in the social security office; B.B. and Nora in the rain; Tilley and Nora on the porch; and B.B. and Nora having breakfast. Nora, the central character, is played by Barbara Hershey, whom I adore. B.B. is Richard Dreyfus, whom I detest -- except in Tin Men. He is just as right here as he is wrong in every other movie I've seen him in. The secondary characters are also brilliant, especially Bruno Kirby. This is the movie that turned me on to Bruno Kirby.

Caddies, Aluminum sidings, and Fine Young Cannibals!,
By
This review is from: Tin Men (Widescreen) (DVD)
What makes 'Tin Men' an entertaining movie mostly depends on its substance. It's a situational comedy. When two men, Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfuss, go at it over a car accident, that is just the beginning of a strife that never seems to end. Soon we have smashed car windows, eggs and potatoes, and a broken marriage. That's not all, we also get some very interesting dialogue; how about how ridiculous 'Bonanza' is, the mis-pleasures of picnics, hearing DeVito repeat the words 'Ease off!", expert Morangai dancing, and "are they salesmen or hustlers?" While all this is happening, we also get Fine Young Cannibals' classic 80's hit 'Good Thing'Recommended B

It's nearly not a movie...,
By Mr Russell S. Wollman "russwollman" (Fairfield, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tin Men (VHS Tape)
...it's truly a slice of life, contrasting its two main characters, one who moves his life forward (Babowsky/Dreyfuss) and one who virtually regresses (Tilley/DeVito) in response to the increasing challenges which time and life always bring to us all. And the collection of supporting characters adds such a fine flavor that the resulting stew is savory indeed. It's fleet of wonderful tail-finned Cadillacs is fascinating, perfectly symbolic, and truly beautiful to behold. Never when watching this film do I get the feeling that anyone's acting, so natural are all the players, each with his or her own unique appeal. You'll love them all from the start. Funny? I've never thought it was particularly funny. It's simply too genuine, so engrossing that you may forget all about laughter, as I did, but you'll find comedy here if you wish. Tin Men's direction is marvelous-charming, easy, and utterly economical-with a fine sound track of carefully chosen material. I'm keeping my eyes open for the soundtrack...
