MEN AT WORK is a comedy that doesn't try to be over the top, but it is funny on the grounds of the engaging chemistry of the two stars Emilio Estevez (also the director) and Charlie Sheen. They are two garbage men, who find a dead body during one of their pick-ups. They realize it is the guy they had shot with a pellet rifle whom they observed abusing his girfriend (Leslie Hope) who lives in the apartment across the street form their own apartment. Knowing that their pellet gun could not be the cause of the dead man's demise, they suspect the girl and do their own investigation. Then, they get caught in a web of an evil politician (John Getz) and his illegal waste operation. Add a couple of bargain basement hit-men, a distrurbed Vietnam vet (Keith David), a couple of rival garbage men, two trigger happy cops, a pizza deliverer (Dean Cameron), a few rent-a-cops, and dozen or so waste handler's, and you have a film that is fun to watch. A comedy with plausibility and a plot that's not too complicated. Overall,a small and forgotten gem that, with repeated viewing, grows on you.

I've been waiting for this to be released on DVD. The movie is a hoot!!! Especially love the "Louis" character. "I hate cops- I hate rent-a cops too". "Now if Mr.Sneaky-man would come up here and stand next to Mr.Bone-head". I just received my copy the other day, and was wondering if anyone else has this problem.......there is no chapter index sheet in the box. Just the DVD.

THIS movie is hilarious, EVERY actor in this movie is funny as hell and even though the story is weird , they all inject me with laughing bug throughout the entire movie. The only thing that is not good about this flick is that it is too short, and the first half is alot better than the second half.
I loved this movie when it came out in theatres back in 1990 or something and if you have not seen it, then buy the dvd. It is one of the greatest movies with Sheen and Estevez.

all i got to say is that this movie is so bad ass my buddy and i are going as sheen and estevez for halloween.

this move was the most funny movie and yet it was heartwarming in a way

Fans of brothers Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen will love seeing them together in this movie. It's not the most perfect movie but it is entertaining, and there are a couple of breathtaking shots of the brothers together that will make you wish Martin Sheen had had many, many more sons. A real treat for the cadre of loyal fans - admittedly mostly sighing females like me - who love this family.

Simply you just need to ADD Men At Work to your dvd Collection...'tis Fresh,Inventive,A pleasant,Knockabout Comedy.

Men at work is a great movie!!! I can't stop laughing!!

What do you get when you have two real life brothers that play brothers who are garbage men, who are under the authority of a deranged war veteran, a sexy advertiser, two uptight cops, a toxic waste tycoon, an innocent pizza boy, two b-rated killers and a dead politician? A heck of a movie that will make you laugh! You just have to see it.

We had never seen this movie, but my kids were telling us how funny it is. We watched it and were doubled over half the movie!! Of course now my kids have the movie to watch. It really is hysterical, and we are glad that we got it. As soon as we get it back from them, we will have to see it again.
