Unemployed and recently dumped, Mitch and his buddy Sam start a revenge-for-hire business to raise the $50,000 that Sam's father needs to get a heart transplant. The dirty duo brings down a movie theater manager and hires hookers to pose as dead bodies during a live TV ad. When a wealthy developer hires the guys to trash a building (so that he can have it condemned), problems arise and a feud ensues.

One star deduction for a couple of tasteless jokes. A half-star deduction for Norm MacDonald's hilariously terrible wardrobe of bizarrely oversized flannel shirts. Otherwise: PERFECTION.
Why I watched this one? Seems my kids used to watch this movie on a regular basis...yet I had never seen the movie from beginning to end before.
What is this one about? Norm Macdonald plays a guy that starts up a revenge business to help pay for his father's surgery.
My thoughts on this one? This one has its moments. I have always enjoyed Macdonald's sense of humor....so my opinion might be somewhat biased....but I had fun watching this movie. Spotting the Saturday Night Live cast members was fun too. This version is rated PG-13...apparently there is a R rated version that never saw the light of day. I wonder if they version still exists? Final thought: You might like this movie....plus if you do not....it is only 82 minutes long.
A genuinely funny film that somehow manages to be genuinely unfunny and squanders every last drop of its comedic potential. Supporting cast range from the brilliant (the late Chris Farley, in his last film appearance) to the ridiculous (Christopher McDonald) to the wasted (John Goodman). Had a different and more experienced director taken the helm and the film had two lead actors who could actually act, we could have had a true blue classic. Terrible disappointment
I’m just going to come out and say it, Dirty Work is one of the most underrated, and under appreciated comedies ever made.
Plot and pacing issues be damned, this movie is totally hilarious. If you don't find Norm Macdonald funny then I'm afraid to say there is no hope for you, my friend. His patented dry, wry humour is on full display throughout this film, and while it buckles to the conventions of a standard comedy script in the final act, it is so deliciously funny in getting there that I really don't care.

Идиотская комедия с напрочь лишенными харизмы актерами в главных ролях. Добавил балл за Чеви Чейза, который смешил во всех четырех сценах, где появился.
I wonder who’s choice it was to have Norm McDonald wear clothes that are 3x too large and Artie Lange wear clothes that are 3x too small.
