Men at Work is an action/comedy film directed and produced by Emilio Estevez. Carl Taylor (Charlie Sheen) and James St. James (Emilio Estevez) are a pair of garbagemen. During a night of mischievous pranking, the pair spies a city councilmember harassing a woman. They shoot the man in the butt with a pellet gun. The next morning, the pair discovers the man's dead body in a trash can. Afraid that they'll be implicated in the crime, the duo embarks on a journey to solve the murder, all the while keeping it from the police.

Tagline: Two garbagemen who know when something smells funny!

Considering it's relatively small production budget, Men at Work did well in theaters, grossing $16,247,964 USD, $3,184,311 of that within the first week.
