Rating : - Some adult viewing appeal
MEN AT WORK has some adult viewing appeal. It begins with a plausible plot, some well-timed humor, and sharp lines of dialogue. Where did it go wrong? At a point when the writers decided to make idiots out of two patrolmen, it would seem. From that point the movie became a formula effort--the meaningless effort to hide a corpse, the ridiculous kidnapping of a pizza deliveryman, the absurd hitmen who can't hit--oh yes, the car chases. The humor became simply juvenile. In spite of its'shortcomings, the movie was entertaining. Sheen and Estevez are fun to watch. There are some adult gags mixed in with the junior high school bathroom humor. I'd watch this again, but not if a Woody Allen flic were handy.
