Product Description:
It s up to a pair of trash-hauling heroes to clean up the city in this action-comedy starring real-life brothers Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. With hilarious supporting performances and an all-star soundtrack Men at Work is an engaging comically crackpot (The New York Times) adventure that has very few moments when it s not generating laughs (Los Angeles Times)! Garbage men James (Estevez) and Carl (Sheen) dream of opening a surf shop but often land in hot water due to their practical jokes. When they discover the body of a murdered politician on their route they attempt to sniff out the killer themselves a bad idea that rapidly ensnares them in a toxic waste scandal. Soon they re thrown headlong into a manic escapade involving a deranged veteran an attractive campaign manager a kidnapped pizza deliveryman and a greedy polluter who wants them hauled off to a landfill for good!System Requirements: Running Time 99 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 027616876638 Manufacturer No: 1003513

Proving that a little success can be a dangerous thing, Emilio Estevez parlayed his early-'80s 'brat-pack' fame into a dubious directorial career, beginning with 1986's Wisdom (in which Estevez costarred with then-fiancée Demi Moore), and resuming with this sophomore-effort 1990 comedy that benefits most from Emilio's teaming with brother Charlie Sheen. (Close your eyes and listen: their voices sound like their dad Martin Sheen after inhaling helium.) The brothers play a pair of garbage collectors who discover a body on their daily rounds, and the corpse draws them into a scheme involving corrupt politics, illegal hazardous-waste dumping, and a lovely neighbor (Leslie Hope) with connections to the dead guy. Add a wacko Vietnam vet (Keith David), an unsuspecting pizza deliverer (Dean Cameron), and a pair of overzealous cops, and you've got a comedy that lazily rambles from one lightweight scene to another. It's way too loose to have any noteworthy quality, but that's also part of the movie's low-brow appeal: Estevez and Sheen play well together, and this is just their way of goofing off with Hollywood money. With a sharper script and an experienced director, Men at Work could have paid off handsomely. As it is, these sibling antics are amiable enough, and the early-'90s fashion crimes (like Charlie's 'dork knob' ponytail) offer an amusing diversion from the lamest gags. --Jeff Shannon

Great movie. A true comedy done right, I would recommend this movie to any fan of the Late 80's early 90's. Very Very Funny.

I still enjoy Men at Work. I enjoyed it when I was a little kid, and I enjoy it still as a slacker/dreamer 20 somethin'...good movie to sit back with after a day at work, relax a little bit, rest your feet, and gulp a beverage, masticate some good local pizza with extra cheese and hot peppers.

This is a purposely offbeat movie with some great humor and I've found that it's one of those films that you'll want to go back and revisit. Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen are really good together (their banter is especially strong in the first half of the movie) but I've found, as others have done, that it's actually Keith David who steals the show. This would have probably got 5 stars from me except that the second half of the film just isn't quite as original or comedic as the first half ... Read More

This is just a plain fun movie, a small insight into what it may be like for some sanitation workers, and why my trash cans are always all over the place when I get home. Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez are garbage men who, by string of coincedences, get linked into a murder in more ways than one, all through trying to clean up trash.
Sure this movie is a bit far streached at times, and makes two relatively clever characters go from funny to dumb all throughout (Why not just call the ... Read More
