Dirty Work

description Dirty Work Overview

Dirty Work is a 1998 American black comedy directed by Bob Saget and starring Norm MacDonald and Artie Lange. It follows down-on-their-luck friends who start a business carrying out acts of revenge for paying clients. Their goal is to raise money for a relative's surgery, so the plot joins crude slapstick with a simple rescue objective. The film is an irreverent comedy built around escalating schemes, practical gags, and an odd-couple friendship.
