Men At Work
"Fresh, inventive! A pleasant, knockabout comedy." -Los Angeles Times
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 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!

i still like this movie. i still like it despite all the garbage that charlie sheen has done. charlie sheen should get help, for drugs, mental health, alcohol, or whatever else his problems might be. he is a great actor and when he should get help for being under the influence of alcohol/drugs/mental health. i'd hate to charlie sheen being another hollywood statistic. this is me speaking as a fan.A product of it's time. - cathyottawa
Released in 1990, this movie may well have been the final goofy, screwball 80s comedy.
This belongs in the same category as the Police Academy movies, and Weekend at Bernie's. It's zany, it's nutty, and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
For me, this hasn't aged well. It's lost any charm it may have had. The jokes fall flat. The story is silly. Did it have it's moments? Sure. But not enough to recommend.Men are working - mountsaint
Great movie, one of the best for these brothers, i don't know why they never did more movies together, but they complement each other so well, not the best story line for a movie, but like in the movie you never know what you'll find in the garbage. All together some funny moments, the guy gets the girl, and the rest you'll have to find out on your own.
