    Emilio Estevez wrote and directed this comedy actioner about two dustbin men (played by Estevez and his brother Charlie Sheen) who uncover a corpse on their daily clean-up route. Together with a nutty Vietnam vet (Keith David), they attempt to solve the crime and keep their community clean. Unsurprisingly, Sheen and Estevez have a chemistry which charms, though the subject matter and genre require you to watch sans brain. Both actors should really know better.

  • "...A pleasant, knockabout comedy....It is fresh, inventive and has very few moments when it's not generating laughs..."

    Needs some work!

    Real life brothers Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez try two be heroes in this comedy about to trash men who discover a body in the garbage and unravel a plot to dump toxic waste.

    Getting the girl along the way and dodging the police the 2 brothers stumble over each other time after time and by the end it all seemed a little pointless.

    Good for a meaningless giggle but not one for the collection.

    Keep it Real!

    Classic 80's giggler

    This film is a reminder of the classic 'Weekend at Bernie's' type slapstick-ish, 80's cheesy comedy and I liked it. Not really one for the collection but definitely good for a Saturday afternoon giggle and nostalgia trip. Plus I like Charlie and Emilio too.
