Men at Work Blu-ray

With little respect for their superiors, and even less for the law, garbage collectors Charlie Sheen (Wall Street, Platoon) and Emilio Estevez (Young Guns, The Breakfast Club) have made trouble a way of life. Practical jokers with a gift for the truly twisted gag, the two pranksters glide through work with one eye on the ladies and the other on the surf shop they dream of owning. But their fun-loving life is turned upside down when they discover the corpse of a local politician – and realize they will be prime suspects. Pursued by both the police and the real killers, Sheen and Estevez know that to save their hides, they’ll have to solve the case.Hilarious supporting performances from Leslie Hope (Talk Radio), Keith David (They Live), Dean Cameron (Summer School) and Cameron Dye (Valley Girl) and an all-star soundtrack keeps things hot as they careen through kidnappings, car chases, and an unlikely romance, all in the name of justice… It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it!

Review

The movie’s desire to please is tireless, also engaging. Mr. Estevez’s screenplay is not entirely coherent, but it has a number of comically crackpot lines. –Vincent Canby, The New York Times

The grotesque practical jokes perpetrated against two interfering bumblers are genuinely funny, while Estevez and Sheen remain cutely goofy even when indulging themselves in this adolescent idiocy. –Time Out

When I was reading it [Men at Work script], I thought it was so good, so close to my bone, that I had written it! –Writer / Director John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off)
