1998 - DIRTY WORK, I suppose if I was 14 again I would think this was pretty cool

 

Norm McDonald, wisecracks his way through this comedy about 2 guys who have a revenge for hire business. The movie has a lot of comedians in it, Chevy Chase, Don Rickles, Artie Lange, Chris Farley and Jack Warden. The movie was a flop when it came out but supposedly now it has a cult following, whatever that means. It also has gay jokes, lots of gay jokes lots and lots and lots of gay jokes. Gay dogs screwing other dogs, a gay skunk screwing a little chiwawa, Norm getting it in the rear in jail, a theater full of people watching a gay version of Men In Black and on and on and on, the humor just never ends. It does have some humorous stuff in it. Don Rickles has a few minutes insulting Artie Lange, which apparently he totally improvised. Chevy Chase who I can't remember being funny anymore is actually pretty good.

 

The final scene involves ruining a performance of Don Giovanni at an opera house. It's a direct steal from the Marx Brother's, A Night At The Opera. But apparently they didn't watch that movie close enough because they didn't steal any of the funny stuff, that scene fell completely flat. The movie was 80 minutes long, it probably had 45 minutes worth of good sthick, but you can see most of that 45 minutes on You Tube which is probably the best way to watch it.

80 minutes.
