Load of rubbish!!

Instant Favorite.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is a pretty a good one. The brothers are really funny in this movie. The BB gun that Charlie uses to shoot a couple of guys in the ass are priceless. They are a pair of garbage men loser's who stumble on a body while doing their route. The body turns out to be someone they saw across the street in an apartment with a hot woman. The high jinks among the garbage men teams are kind of typical for male interaction at work although it is carried to extremes. When they follow the leads and end up at the dump things get interesting in a (of course) very comedic finish. The main bad guy ends up getting his in the end, of course, and the brothers come out the winners.

Carl and James are two unambitious garbage men. Carl has a telescope with which he observes his neighbours. One evening he sees a man giving his girlfriend a hard time. As she leaves he shoots the man with a pellet gun. Hiding, he and James miss two men strangling the man and leaving with the body. When he appears in a can on their route they are afraid and hide the body, fearing that they may be implicated in the death. Trying to crack the case, they spy on the woman, join up with a crazed Vietnam vet, kidnap a pizza man and help to protect the environment. After all, it's the nineties.When global warming was rife, and the world was going to end, or we would have to have an atmosphere like Highlander 2, Estevez decided to make a comedy, with a hint of global awareness.It's one of those random weird comedies that were released around this time, Weekend At Bernies springs to mind, and you know that you shouldn't enjoy it, but you do, because the film makers brainwash you.The two leads have great chemistry, well they should after all. The music in the film is popular music of that time or very recent, so this gives you a comfort zone.And then it's sunny all the time, Women are beautiful, and garbage men can afford to stay in nice apartments and drink in the afternoon, all in the world is good.Add all theses ingredients with some bad guys you know are going to lose, and the film is a safe bet to entertain, not amaze, but entertain.And it does, it never out stays its welcome,a nd the humour never gets too immature.It won't be on anyones favourite list, but when it crops up on TV, I bet a few people will be transmitted back to the early nineties, with fond memories.

Two garbage men, a psychopath, a pizza man, and a dead man make up Men at Work. This is a laidback movie that was what the 1990s were all about. Movies that weren't trying to live up to something their not , they were just movies made to give audiences enjoyment. These movies don't care about a star rating or a percentage score on what would soon to be known as Rotten Tomatoes. These films are now Saturday Night flicks with big actors who weren't big at the time.Sheen and Estevez play Carl and James, two garbagemen who slack off similar to the way Dante and Randal do in the movie Clerks. Since their screwing around bothers residents, they are assisted by at psychopathic Vietnam War Veteran Louis Fedders (Keith David). One night they see a neighbor girl being bullied by her boyfriend, which causes Carl to react and shoot him with a pellet sniper. The next morning the three discover the body of the guy who they shot in a garbage can, and turns out he is a politician. Noticing strangulation marks on the man's neck they suspect its was the neighbor girl and it becomes a stakeout at the boys apartment when one goes undercover to the neighbor girl's house to get her to confess.It's a stupid funny buddy film and overall it plays out pretty well for itself. We do see an appearance from Dean Cameron as the pizza man so the film doesn't fail in the surprise star field. The movie sometimes falls flat with gay jokes often made by the Vietnam Vet. The first time they were funny, but then it just becomes a little grueling to keep watching the same stupid thing.The music in the film is something great too. It seems I've been getting good music in a lot of movies lately. But Im a Cheerleader and The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters both have impressed me with their musical scores and its nice this one didn't fail either. The Sheen/Estevez duo should have done more Comedy films. They did this and Sheen made a cameo in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon which Estevez was the lead in. It doesn't seem like they will work again since Sheen has been in numerous amounts of trouble and Estevez's last film was Arthur and the Invisibles in 2006. His newly directed film, The Public is rumoured for a release this year, but has been delayed a lot too. So who knows if they'll ever work again in a movie, though this one deserves a nice "golf clap".Starring: Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Leslie Hope, Keith David, Dean Cameron, and John Getz. Directed by: Emilio Estevez.

This is one of those movies that I watch every time it's on not because I like it, but because it's so bad I can't take my eyes off it (like "Battlefield Earth" or "3000 Miles to Graceland"). The first time I watched I kept waiting and waiting and waiting to laugh and didn't get my chance until about 3/4 of the way through the movie when they strip the harassing cops to their undies and handcuff them in the park in a unflattering position. Beyond that, the jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't funny, their mishaps and missteps aren't funny...add it up, it's not a very funny movie! Not even at a slapstick level! And what's with the reggae soundtrack? It's a movie about two white garbagemen and the music is all reggae. Seems out of place, don't it? If you like a good trainwreck, this is for you. If you like a good comedy, look elsewhere.
