If you always wanted to see brothers Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez together in a film, watch this movie. It's a story you may have seen before, but it's still fun and exciting and it's got the two of them, so why not. I liked it.

A true guilty pleasure, Men at Work sees Carl (Charlie Sheen) and James (Emilio Estevez) as two no hope surfers/garbage men who pipe dream about opening their own surf shop. Carl has a slightly disturbed habit of spying on his neighbors with binoculars and "seriously aggravating ... read more

I loved this when I was younger, and I remember it fondly even though it's probably crap.

Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen (real-life brothers) were trying to emulate Abbott and Costello, they've succeeded only too well.

I remember it being really fun, but I know if I see it again it won't be as good as I remember.

The only thing I remember is that there are 2 cops tied together in a boning formation.
Critic Reviews
Like the jokes, the brothers' rapport seems recycled from childhood. Sheen and Estevez are hardly working. Full Review
It's just not much of a motion picture, dropping the potential of a unique workplace perspective to deliver static monkey business, streaked with leftover clown make-up from Weekend at Bernie's. Full Review
Lame trash men comedy, early Estevez and Sheen.
Despite its ample flaws, Men at Work is never boring and often is a lot of fun; however, it would have benefitted from the pruning of a few of its misfired visual gags, Full Review
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. Full Review
Banal brotherly project concocted up by real life siblings Sheen and Estevez. An uneven and unfunny ruse under the dour direction of Estevez
The Sheen brothers display how useless they are in this, the dumbest of dumb comedies, proof that they'll never be confused with the Marx Brothers. Full Review
Golf clap!
In fairness to the two actors, who have appeared in much better films, they don't have much to work with here. Full Review
