Dirty Work is a film that doesn't work. The whole storyline seems created out of convenience, never strong enough to make the audience care. Only a few laughs come out of this boring story and script and are mostly due to MacDonald's dry humour.
The cameos of Chevy Chase, Chris Farley and Adam Sandler are all wasted, not using each to the best of their abilities. I wonder if Chevy ever saw the finished product of this film. Because if he did, he would have surely asked for his part to be cut. Chase has no funny lines in the entire film even though they are all meant to be funny. Same goes for Farley, other than his final scene,, his role isn't at all funny.
The ending of this film is pathetic, causing one to question if Mr. Saget ran out of film, MGM lost patience or MacDonald just got sick of being boring.
Dirty Work is good for a few crude laughs, but still a waste of an hour and a half.
4/10 stars.
