Product Description
Two garbagemen who know when something smells funny! Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 03/06/2007 Starring: Charlie Sheen Keith David Run time: 99 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Emilio Estevez
Amazon.com
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-fiancee 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

 Waht do you get?? October 25, 2008
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.
OMG, This is HYSTERICAL September 29, 2008
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.
Men at work December 29, 2007
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.
A very funny film that gets a "golf clap" and a 'B+' from me... February 15, 2007
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 - the story starts getting more action-orientated and the ending is a little on the cheesy side. Still, you've got to love the idea of lead characters as garbagemen and the charm with which Estevez and Sheen do it.
