电话收单业务主管陶德（Josh Hamilton 饰）惊闻公司要将电话收单外包，国产相同的工作交由印度职员完成，国产实在可以节省不少成本。陶德被公司借鸡下蛋派往印度培训当地接班人。苦于工作未满年限陶德只得服从安排。甫下飞机，陶德便目睹印度邋遢又充满活力的异域特色，除了名字被念做托德（蟾蜍）以外似乎没有太大不妥，前来接站的接班人普洛的名片上赫然写着“未来经理”。陶德入住一家私人旅馆，同时经过战场般的荷丽节洗礼，得以更加亲近印度文化。另一方面，陶德为提高工作效率在培训之外适度奖励，收效明显。随着印度部门业绩提升，陶德离开的时候快到了，但他实在不愿让与下属亚莎的爱情成为一段回忆……

回复 :夏洛特（夏洛特·甘斯布 Charlotte Gainsbourg 饰）是一个13岁的叛逆少女，对于她来说，生活充满了不幸，同伴们都是不可救药的傻瓜而父母则是不通情理的无聊大人，总体上来说一切都是如此的乏善可陈，除了那个叫露露（Julie Glenn 饰）的总围着自己打转的傻姑娘和那个年长英俊的水手。当克拉拉（Clothilde Baudon 饰）出现在夏洛特面前的时候，她简直不敢相信自己的眼睛，原来这个世界上是可以有如此美丽、如此优雅、如此才华横溢的天使存在的，更重要的是，克拉拉的父母非常有钱，克拉拉成为了夏洛特通往幻想世界的跳板。在千方百计获得了到克拉拉宅邸做客的机会后，夏洛特对于自己的光辉未来的幻想就从未停歇，可是现实并不如幻想般美好，很快，一盆冷水将彻底浇灭夏洛特那不切实际的幻想。

回复 :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.
