Console best movie i've ever seen.

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

debrabutler-78823 Starring the two brothers Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez Men at work is a barely remembered comedy and rightly so- It is an okay effort featuring the then upcoming actors. There are few laughs thrown around but by and large it is a largely forgotten movie.

SnoopyStyle Carl Taylor (Charlie Sheen) and James St. James (Emilio Estevez) are two slacker garbage men who dream of their own surf shop. Then they get saddled with the bosses' angry brother-in-law Louis Fedders (Keith David). Meanwhile politician Berger had taped his conversation with the corrupt business owner Maxwell Potterdam III (John Getz) about their illegal dumping conspiracy. A couple of goons kills him, but they retrieve the wrong tape and lose the body after it falls off their car. The garbage men find the body. In an unlikely coincidence, Carl had shot him with a pellet gun the night before. Now they're not sure what to do and it's "Weekend at Bernie's" time. They think the girlfriend Susan Wilkins (Leslie Hope) is involved and the bumbling group tries to investigate. When the pizza guy (Dean Cameron) sees the body, Louis kidnaps him.It's an oddity to see the brothers working together in a movie written and directed by Emilio Estevez. It tries to be funny but the writing is not there. There are a couple of slightly wacky characters with a few funny lines. It could have worked if either brother put in an outrageous performance. When the jokes on the page aren't good enough, a special kind of performer is needed to make up the jokes on the fly. It has a couple of moments but there are not enough of them to be truly funny.

gwnightscream Emilio Estevez directs & co-stars in this 1990 action-comedy with Charlie Sheen, Leslie Hope, Keith David, Dean Cameron, Darrel Larson and John Getz. Sheen (Major League) and Estevez (The Breakfast Club) play garbage men, Carl Taylor and James St. James. Soon, they stumble onto an environmental conspiracy after they find dead politician, Jack Berger (Larson) in a trash can along their route. Hope plays Berger's campaign manager, Susan Wilkins who meets and gets romantically involved with Carl, David (They Live) plays Louis Fedders, a war vet who is assigned to work with Carl & James, Cameron (Summer School) plays a pizza man who gets taken hostage by Louis and Getz (The Fly) plays corrupt businessman, Maxwell Potterdam III who dumps waste and is the one behind Berger's murder. This is a good action-comedy, Sheen & Estevez are great in it together and Getz plays a good villain. I recommend this.

Scott LeBrun ...Never mess with another man's French fries!Writer / director Emilio Estevez and his real-life brother Charlie Sheen are engaging as a pair of not terribly ambitious garbage men who want a little more out of life but don't do much about it. One day on their route, they discover the dead body of city councilman Jack Berger (Darrell Larson) inside a barrel. Berger, a fairly corrupt man who'd been in league with a toxic waste dumper, Maxwell Potterdam III (John Getz), had developed some scruples and decided to blow the whistle, so arrogant rich jerk Potterdam has his two (not terribly competent) thugs kill Berger. While all of this is going on, James (Estevez) and Carl (Sheen) are in trouble for their escapades while on the job, so their boss has assigned his own brother-in-law to keep an eye on them. The trouble there is, the brother-in-law is an absolutely nutty Vietnam veteran (the hysterical Keith David, who walks away with the movie) who actually keeps getting the guys into more and more trouble. You see, he HATES cops, and REALLY hates rent-a-cops. Overall, "Men at Work" is a pretty successful comedy, and one particularly amusing thing is the way Estevez has created various pairs of characters: Frost and Luzinski (Geoffrey Blake and Cameron Dye), two fellow garbage men forever locked in a war of practical jokes with James and Carl, the two moronic hit men, Biff and Mario (Hawk Wolinski and John Lavachielli), and the two smug, self-important cops Mike and Jeff (John Putch and Tommy Hinkley) who look down on James and Carl and assume them to be no-goods. The only problem is, most of the characters, while funny, aren't nearly as funny as Louis (David), and it may make one impatient to get back to any and all scenes with him. Try not to crack up at some of the things he does - such as his recurring motif whenever he incapacitates victims, or his reaction to the voices he hears at one point. He also has most if not all of the best lines, especially "The Commie bastard gets no food!" and "Ah, lookie here, somebody threw away a perfectly good white boy!". "Men at Work" does work as farce quite well in the way things just keep going from bad to worse, and there is some brief, priceless "Weekend at Bernie's" type humour with Berger's corpse (which is made to wear a Richard Nixon mask). The actors all do a good job, with Leslie Hope as the female lead, an attractive campaign manager and love interest for Carl, and Dean Cameron as the put upon pizza delivery guy. Getz is hilariously unsubtle as the ultra sleazy criminal, who gets an awfully goofy comeuppance at the end. "Men at Work" is good, undemanding, "check your brain at the door" comedy that entertains well for a solid 99 minutes. Seven out of 10.
