Comedic Masterpiece: Men At Work

If any film deserves the Criterion treatment this is it.

"Men At Work" is the crème de la crème of 90 minute, mindless comedies.

When I was a kid (8/9) my mom would take me to rent a video every week. Being an obssessive type I rented the same films many times over.

These included:

Men At Work
Major League
Robocop

And some piece of shit with Whoopie Goldberg as a cop trying to stop some drug called angel delight or something. I just remember a dude eating a bottle.


I can't imagine Men At Work would hold up after all these years.

You have a terrible imagination. It still rules.

The last time I was drunk-eBaying I bought the soundtrack for $10. I was very disappointed that it didn't have the song the rival garbage men were rocking in their truck ("Work It, Work It").

I believe you are correct sir. I used to get up early to watch it before school.
