‘Cadillac Man’ is one of Robin Williams’ most underrated films. It’s about car salesman Joey O’Brien (Williams) who likes to make a sale at any time (he attempts to sell a car to a grieving widow at a funeral), whilst maintaining the loving eye of several mistresses. One day, Larry (Robbins) bursts into the showroom with a gun and takes everyone hostage, demanding to know who has been sleeping with his wife. Of course, attention turns to Joey, and as a large police presence congregates outside, and the media gets involved, Joey and Larry find themselves in a rather difficult situation.
Think Glengarry Glen Ross meets Airheads meets Used Cars. ‘Cadillac Man’ is a funny portrayal of relationships and what happens when things don’t go to plan. Williams and Robbins are great in their roles.
