WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to what it was like to watch it for the first time.

ne Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

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

Predrag "Men At Work" is to me a timeless classic. I thought the script was hilarious containing many great quotable one-liners and terrific comedic performances. The brothers Estevez/Sheen play off each other well and it just occurred to me that it would probably be interesting if they starred together in a buddy cop movie but I'm getting ahead of myself here. This movie stands the test of time meaning it is still funny to me after all these years unlike some other movies that I thought I would love forever such as "The Breakfast Club" which now is a bit boring when I go back and try to watch it.This movie is terrific until the end where it seems like Emilio ran out of time or money because it just seems to end without resolution to some of the story lines. This movie is ittedly silly but that doesn't matter because it makes me laugh which is about the only requirement I have anymore for movies. The script was funny and the characters were as well. So what if the story line itself was like cardboard. Aside from Charlie and Emilio, I thought the hit men as well as the garbage men nemeses and even the bicycle cops nemeses were all funny. I always enjoy Keith David who is a flawless character actor and John Getz is always amazing whether he is playing a good guy or bad guy. Emilio Estevez does a fine job in his directorial debut and it makes us wish that him and his brother Charlie Sheen would be in more stuff together.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

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.

pqshindelus This is one of those movies that I watch every time it's on not because I like it, but because it's so bad I can't take my eyes off it (like "Battlefield Earth" or "3000 Miles to Graceland"). The first time I watched I kept waiting and waiting and waiting to laugh and didn't get my chance until about 3/4 of the way through the movie when they strip the harassing cops to their undies and handcuff them in the park in a unflattering position. Beyond that, the jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't funny, their mishaps and missteps aren't funny...add it up, it's not a very funny movie! Not even at a slapstick level! And what's with the reggae soundtrack? It's a movie about two white garbagemen and the music is all reggae. Seems out of place, don't it? If you like a good trainwreck, this is for you. If you like a good comedy, look elsewhere.
