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.

In fairness to the two actors, who have appeared in much better films, they don't have much to work with here.

Just tell me why?

Golf clap!
04/06/03
The movie's desire to please is tireless, also engaging. Mr. Estevez's screenplay is not entirely coherent, but it has a number of comically crackpot lines.
05/20/03
Banal brotherly project concocted up by real life siblings Sheen and Estevez. An uneven and unfunny ruse under the dour direction of Estevez
05/31/03
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.

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,
02/04/08
Lame trash men comedy, early Estevez and Sheen.
02/23/08
Like the jokes, the brothers' rapport seems recycled from childhood. Sheen and Estevez are hardly working.
01/01/00
Top CriticAt times fun, at others too smart for it's own good. It's big flaw: the long, drawn-out ending.
