简介：故事发生在华盛顿的一家新闻电视台之中。珍妮（霍利·亨特 Holly Hunter 饰）是就职于其中的新闻节目制作人，恪尽职守的她拥有强烈的道德感和责任心，是制作组内的中坚力量。在一次采访中，播报员汤姆（威廉·赫特 William Hurt 饰）竟被采访对象感动留下了泪水，这让珍妮感到大为震撼，不禁倾心于汤姆的善良和单纯。艾伦（艾伯特·布鲁克斯 Albert Brooks 饰）是珍妮的搭档，在他眼中，汤姆的流泪是一场彻头彻尾的骗局和表演，然而并没有人相信他。电视台裁员在即，不通人情世故的艾伦惨遭辞退，而精明又圆滑的汤姆反而节节攀升。幸运的是，最终，事实证明了汤姆的虚伪，也让珍妮做出了正确的选择。
简介：Tin Men is one of my favorite movies of all time. The thing that always strikes me whenever I watch this movie is that while the characters of Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito are seemingly feuding non-stop throughout the movie, in reality they are actually kindred spirits. It's like they see themselves in the other but don't really like what they see. Barbara Hershey is great as the haggard housewife who looks for something more fulfilling in her life. All the supporting cast is excellent. I love the diner dialog which is reminiscent of Barry Levinson's previous film "Diner." The background scenes of Baltimore landscape add to the realistic atmosphere of the movie. Overall, I think this movie is vastly underrated. I'd love to see a sequel with Dreyfuss and DeVito as partners in a VW dealership.
