Men At Work is an Action Comedy Thriller movie by Emilio Estevez.Carl Taylor (Charlie Sheen) and James St. James (Emilio Estevez) are a couple of slacker garbage collectors who dream of one day owning their own surfboard store. Until then, though, all they can do is their job (poorly), get hassled by some local bicycle cops who don't think very highly of them, and spy on a woman in the building across the street from theirs, Susan Wilkins (Leslie Hope). Since they tend to throw the garbage around and bother the locals with their noise, their supervisor has put them on probation and will have his brother-in-law Louis Fedder (Keith David) shadow them for the next few weeks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meanwhile, Jack Berger (Darrell Larson), a city councilman who is running for mayor, has decided he's had enough of letting Corrupt Corporate Executive Maxwell Potterdam III (John Getz) illegally dump the waste from his factory into the bay, and has decided to rat him out, even secretly recording his confession to what he did while they are talking. Naturally, a man like Maxwell doesn't want the public finding out about his actions, so he decides to have some hitmen kill Jack to keep him from talking.The day after Carl shoots Jack in the rear end with a pellet gun for throttling Susan in her apartment, Carl, James, and Louis find his body in a waste barrel, with Carl and James assuming Carl killed him (until Louis points out the strangle marks on his neck). From there, these two, along with a Pizza Delivery Man they had to abduct too keep him quiet about the body (Dean Cameron), end up embroidered in Jack's and Maxwell's business.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The movie was released on August 24th, 1990. | |

Left Hanging | |
| Men at Work (1990) / int_80b5924 | comment |
Left Hanging: At the end of the movie, Potterdam has been put through a Humiliation Conga by the protagonists... and then it fades to black, and we don't really find out if his actions were exposed, or the aftermath of the events of the movie. | |
