Dirty Work

Comedy82 min

Norm MacDonald’s Mitch, unemployed and newly dumped, teams with his lifelong friend Sam (Artie Lange) to launch a revenge-for-hire business and raise $50,000 for the heart transplant Sam’s father needs. What starts as small-scale payback for wronged clients quickly turns into a string of increasingly destructive schemes, with Mitch and Sam hustling through debt, local crooks, and one bad idea after another. Jack Warden appears as Pops, the ailing father at the center of their scramble, while the movie builds its gags around petty grudges, sabotage jobs, and Mitch’s talent for turning resentment into a business plan.
