This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Dirty Work is a 1998 American comedy film directed by Bob Saget. The film follows long-time friends Mitch (Norm Macdonald) and Sam (Artie Lange) who start a revenge-for-hire business, and work to fund heart surgery for Sam's father Pops (Jack Warden). Christopher McDonald and Traylor Howard also star, and notable cameo appearances include Don Rickles, Rebecca Romijn, John Goodman (uncredited), Gary Coleman, Chevy Chase, David Koechner, Chris Farley (uncredited in his final film appearance), and Adam Sandler (uncredited).
The film was the first starring vehicle for Macdonald and Lange, and the directorial debut of Saget, coming one year after he left his long-running role as host of America's Funniest Home Videos.
Upon its theatrical release on June 12, 1998 by MGM, Dirty Work received largely negative critical reviews and was a disappointment at the box office. It has since become a cult classic and has been reappraised more positively by some critics. A sequel was planned but ultimately canceled following MacDonald and Saget's deaths in the early 2020s.
