Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

dworldeater Men At Work is a buddy comedy classic starring the Estesvez brothers. This was also written and directed by Emilio Estevez as well. Emilio and Charlie have great chemistry here and are garbage men who have aspirations of retiring and opening up a surf shop. The film is outrageous and filled with hilarious antics and great quotable one liners. Keith David was great in this and had great chemistry with Charlie and Emilio. A series of strange events unfold having our sanitation workers become heroes to the community. Men At Work is a great comedy and is great entertainment that holds up well and has a positive message about protecting the environment as well. Men At Work totally rocks and is a classic that I absolutely recommend, great movie!

SanteeFats 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.

Michael_Elliott Men at Work (1990) *** (out of 4) Emilio Estevez wrote and directed this comedy, which also has him playing the lead along with his brother Charlie Sheen. In the film the two play garbage men who dream of setting up their own surf shop but when they find the body of a man running for Mayor they get involved in a political cover up. If you're looking for some sort of high art or masterpiece of cinema then you're certainly looking in the wrong place. If you just want some cheap, juvenile fun then MEN AT WORK is just for you. I remember being 10-years-old when I first watched this movie and I found it hilarious then and it continues to be a very funny, if incredibly stupid little film. I think what the film has going it its favor is the terrific cast who really dig into their roles. Both Estevez and Sheen have no problem playing together as they have a certain chemistry that could only come from real brothers. It's funny seeing the two work together because you can tell that they know how to bounce off one another and it's clear they know which buttons to push. The screenplay leaves a lot to be desired and you can't help but feel that the two actors make a mediocre story and at least put some energy to it. Another major plus is the supporting performance of David Keith who plays a crazy Vietnam vet who tags along with the two men the day the body is discovered. Keith is hilarious in his scenes and it really pre-dates the type of character he would eventually play in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. Just check out the sequence where he has a flashback to his Vietnam days and takes it out on a pizza man. Even Leslie Hope as the love interest comes off well. The biggest thing working against the film is its screenplay because it's just a tad bit too silly for its own good. We get the typical, low-rent type of comedy including the garbage men going up against a couple jerk cops, doing battle with some co-workers and of course there's the hit men that are idiots. MEN AT WORK is certainly far from a classic but it contains some of that 80s comedy that was slowly making its way out of movies by 1990.

Steve Pulaski 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.
