Men at Work (1990)
Country: US
Technical: col 98m
Director: Emilio Estevez
Cast: Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Leslie Hope, Keith David
Synopsis:
A crooked industrialist silences a corrupt politician who had been turning a blind eye to his illegal dumping operation but now threatens to squeal. However, he reckons without the witless intervention of a pair of refuse disposal workers and their borderline-psychotic ex-serviceman chaperone.
Review:
With the principal characters running around through much of the film with a corpse in tow this is technically a black comedy, but the latter term is far too dignifying for this puerile succession of scatological and homophobic gags. Clearly everyone involved thinks it is a lot funnier than it is, and the plot limps along without the slightest comic tension to act as midwife to the hoped-for laughs.
