Summary: The only 'bad part' is when it's over
Review: Stylistically this falls somewhere between 'harmless' 80s & early 90s comedies like Police Academy series, Wayne's World, etc, and the current macho frat house flicks such as American Pie. Mitch and Sam (Norm MacDonald & Artie Lange) are childhood friends who had embarrasing and humorous ways of getting back at anyone who screwed with them. Flashing ahead to today, they're about 30-35, and Mitch isn't doing so good. He loses every job he has, his girlfriend kicks him (and his stuff) out. He goes to live with Sam and Sam's dad, who was sort of a like a father to Mitch, but he's still uncomfortable around the 'creepy old man.' "Pops" has a heart attack and the only way to get him a new heart is to pay a likable, gambling-addicted doctor (Chevy Chase) $50, 000 in 2 weeks. They try some normal jobs, the most memorable being a movie theatre where they have a rude but funny boss (Don Rickles). They show a "Men In Black" parody which has everyone running out in horror, gets their boss fired and they get paid from the other employees for doing that. They than decide to start a 'revenge-for-hire' business. Mitch than gets an idea. His new girlfriend, Kathy, has a job at a car dealership (with an a--hole boss). They're doing a live TV commercial and Mitch distracts the guy. He than points out that there's dead hookers in the trunks of the cars. Just before the cameras shut off, Mitch is able to promote the business. Than they start getting more calls, and doing stuff like hiding dead fish all over the house of a group of noisy partiers. BTW, Kathy (Traylor Howard) gets ticked off (understandably) for Mitch causing her to lose her job. She has a love, hate, back to love relationship with him. I wish she had more of a leading part in the movie. Travis Cole (Christopher McDonald) is a businessman and local celebrity who at first seems to be a great guy. But all he cares about is an Opera House and does whatever necessary to expand it. He tries to tear down a sweet old woman's house. She calls Mitch & Sam who put popcorn in the bulldozer. It works, and gets them sent to jail (for an unpleasant stay). Cole than drops the charges, does a (phony) apology and asks them to condemn an apartment building he says he owns. Turns out Kathy's grandmother lives there too. Reluctantly they trash it only to find out that Cole was lying to them. Mitch is consistently taking notes with a mini tape recorder. He accidentally leaves it running in Cole's office. He now hatches the biggest Dirty Work plan ever! Many of the jokes repeat themselves (I.E. the landlord Kirkpatrick with the "Punch in the stomach" threats; Pops being obsessed with whores), but that somehow works in the movie's favor. It's recycled at the right moments. Bob Saget made his directorial debut here. I might be the only one who liked the job he did. I also thought he was perfect for Funniest Home Videos. He did good voices, was funny-as-hell without trying to be, and just had a very amiable personality. More or less, if you liked him there, or on "Full House" you'll like this. It has Chris Farley's last appearence before he died untimely. He's the obnoxious friend of Mitch & Sam's. Shortly put, one of the best comedies of '98.

Summary: One of the funniest movies ever!!
Review: Norm MacDonald is by far the funniest Canadian I've ever seen. I won't focus too much on the plot or whatever in this review, although it does have a decent story line. I've seen this movie several times, and I never get sick of it. It is ridiculous, but hilarious. The jail scene is quite possibly one of the funniest scenes of all time. Notice how he's in there just long enough to have the unfortunate experience he does. I could go on and on about funny scenes and lines in this movie, but just trust me and go see it for yourself. Chevy Chase is classic in this one, as well as Chris Farley. You just can't go wrong.

Summary: Genius
Review: This movie is really funny. If you loved screwed and half baked you will love this film. Its about these two guys who find out there brothers and their dad needs a new heart which cost $50,000 which so they have to do this job where they get revenge. Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange are histarical. They really did a great job. The only weird thing about this is Bob Saget directed it. I hate his jokes because he is a terrible comedian. I mean cmon dude Bob Saget, more like Bob Faget. Get it heh heh heh ahhh I an idiot. Anyways this movie is really great you havent seen it you got to watch it. Even if you look at it and go "ahhh it looks ok but, ehhhh..", but trust me its funny.

Summary: Very funny lowbrow humor with great cast
Review: Dirty Work is a very funny movie that is along the lines of Dumb and Dumber or Saving Silverman. Mitch and Sam are childhood friends who have now grown up and don't know what to do with themselves. When Sam's father has a heart attack, the two friends must work together to get $50,000 for a new heart. However, everything they try fails miserably. Then, Mitch figures out what they can do, something they have always been good at. Get revenge on people. Soon, plenty of people are hiring them to get revenge on others which results in some of the funniest scenes in the movie, especially the "it smells like fish in here" bit. This is a hilarious movie with a great cast and far too many great lines to mention. For an enjoyable lowbrow humor movie, check out Dirty Work. Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange are perfect together as childhood friends, Mitch and Sam. Macdonald's sarcasm is never better than it is here. Christopher McDonald as Travis Cole, the evil businessman trying to screw over Mitch and Sam. There are also very funny appearances by Chevy Chase, Jack Warden, Rebecca Romijn Stamos, Gary Coleman, Don Rickles, and in a hilarious role, Chris Farley. Also look out for John Goodman, Traylor Howard, and Adam Sandler. The DVD offers widescreen presentations, production notes, collectible booklet, and theatrical trailers. For a hilarious movie that will keep you laughing throughout, check out Dirty Work!

Summary: A hillarious comedy classic! Finally Bob Saget does good!
Review: Yes its directed by Bob Saget, but that doesn't make this movie Full House, Bob does something funny with this he should give up ''acting'' and start directing. Now that thats over with, I'd like to say Norm Macdonald is extremely funny in his first starring role. This movie could have easly benn terrible with a plot of two friends starting a revenge bussiness, but there is great acting, good directing and very funny one liners. Norm is alongside Artie Lange, Chevy Chase, and Chris Farley who gives a hillarious funal appearance in this movie (he died before it came out). The movie is also Produced by Billy Madison producer Brad Grey. If your a fan of Chris or Norm see this movie, even if you don't like them you might like this one.

Summary: Great comedy fun!!!
Review: Norm MacDonald is definitely one of the funniest comics around. His dry sense of humor always leaves me in stiches! The basic storyline is as follows: Pops (Jack Warden), the father of Mitch Weaver's (Norm) best friend Sam (Artie Lange) has a heart attack and needs $50k for an operation to save his life. To raise the money, Mitch and Sam create their own "dirty work" business - they are basically pranksters for hire. One of their pranks involves hiding rotting fish in a noisy neighbor's apartment. It's uproarious!!! My favorite scene is where Pops is watching TV and Sam and Mitch are in another room whispering to each other. Mitch whispers that he doesn't want to look after Pops because Pops is "creepy." Anyway, Sam convinces Mitch to watch TV on a couch with Pops. After Mitch sits down, Pops attacks Mitch for calling him "creepy." Pops heard what Mitch had whispered! My description does not do that scene justice. Watch it for yourself! It's hilarious!!! Don Rickels also makes a cameo appearance in this movie as the manager of a movie theatre. His rude comments may cause you to pass out from laughter!!! Buy this movie!!!

Summary: Oh my filth flarn filth gosh darn tootin shnikies
Review: This piece of brilliant American art is the embodiment of toilet humor at its purest level of simple, raunchy, and fulfilling venality. Stimulating on a wavelength that makes every person that has seen it not only willing, but eager to watch it over and over again (results = unpolished laughter every single time).

Summary: One of the funniest movies of all time
Review: Norm MacDonald is just plain hilarious. I've been a fan of his since back in the old SNL days, and this is his masterpiece. The story centers around Norm and his best friend (Artie Lang) needing to get $50,000 for Artie's father to get a heart transplant. After several failed attempts at earning the money from regular jobs, they decide to open up a revenge for hire business and hilarity ensues. This movie also features brief appearances by Chevy Chase, Adam Sandler, Gary Coleman, and Chris Farley. If you are at all a fan of Norm MacDonald or just comedies in general, I would highly recommend this comic masterpiece.

Summary: Pee-your-pants funny.
Review: Norm Macdonald is naturally funny. His sense of humor brightly shined through the flimsy material he had to work with on Saturday Night Live. Here, Norm has a movie's length to display what SNL doled out in small nuggets. Norm plays Mitch, a guy who can always think of a simple, swift, and cruel way of punishing people who wrong him, but isn't good at much else. When forced to come up with a $50,000 bribe to get his best friend's father a new heart, he decides to capitalize on his special gift. The plot works well enough to not take away from how hilarious this movie is. Norm is, of course, horrendously funny. His delivery is so brilliant that he can turn the worst jokes into gold. They also incorporate his "note to self" jokes into the movie. Artie Lang, Chris Farley and Don Rickles are also hilarious. Summary: funny funny funny funny funny.
