"Tin Men" is definitely a film that guys would love and girl would love to a point.
It starts off basic enough. An accident happens between two men and what is the most natural thing they could think to do? Seek revenge out on one another. It's all fun and games there, but the minute you decide to bring in the innocent wife of one of them there's a line that is beginning to be drawn. But this twisted tale of revenge quickly turns into a love story.
The two men are played by Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito. DeVito's bystander wife is Hershey, who actually to me has some more of the funnier scenes between all three of them. Nothing is more funny then seeing her take revenge out on being mislead by two dummies. My favorite scene has to go to when she finds out what exactly she's been dropped into and reacts on it.
Sure I'll get behind Dreyfuss having feelings for Hershey, but some things that go on totally end up making me yell at him. Then he pulls some stunt where he is given the chance to "win her" like some trophy from DeVito and I can't help but want to throw things at them both! But thank goodness Hershey shares my mindset with this because if the writers actually made her stupid over this I was going to throw in the towel!
The romance aside, there's some other storyline going on about how both men, who share the same job of being a Tin Man (From what I gathered from the film they try to swindle people into remodeling the outside of their homes) are both being investigated. It really is just all background noise for what is the main point of the film: Revenge and love.
Funny? Sure. Enjoyable? Sure. A master piece? Heck no.
