Dirty Work (1998)

Buddies Norm McDonald and Artie Lange start a revenge for hire business to raise money for father Jack Warden’s heart transplant. The whole premise allows the film to mostly be McDonald and Lange playing pranks on people, particularly erstwhile comedy villain Christopher McDonald. The level of humor a viewer will find in the film is almost certainly in direct correlation to how funny they find McDonald in general. I’m definitely in the middle level there and found quite a lot of it amusing. For some reason Norm’s wardrobe consists of exceptionally large flannel shirts and jeans while Lange’s is ever increasing tight shirts. It feels like a bit, but it’s also so subtle that it simultaneously seems accidental.
