Any fans of the Norm Macdonald comedy "Dirty Work"? How has it held up after 20 years?
I think it's an OK film. Certainly far from being one of the greatest comedies ever made, but certainly far from being one of the worst as well. Not much meat to the script considering the film is only 81 minutes long which is including the end credits. Also, I don't think Norm Macdonald is much of an actor. He's watchable, but like with his SNL alumnus Dennis Miller, he's mainly playing himself. I know the film is notable for being directed by Bob Saget of "Full House" fame and is the last film Chris Farley worked on before his death. I do like Don Rickles as the theater owner who makes fun of Norm and Artie Lange. Chris MacDonald is fun to watch as the villain even though he's just playing Shooter McGavin again.
