Men at Work (1990) – Rewatch

While under observation of company inspector Keith David, garbagemen Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen find the body of a city councilmen stuffed in a garbage can. The trio try to cover up their discovery while avoiding the killers and an inept pair of bicycle cops. Occasionally funny, the film starts off as a different take on the buddy comedy, but quickly devolves into inanity with David being forced into a Hollywoodized stereotype of an unhinged war vet, an unnecessary romance, and a ridiculous, over the top ending. I like seeing the Estevez brothers working together, but even while their shared screen time is long, it’s not their best pairing.
