Two garbage men living in a beachside community dream of opening a surf shop, but can't seem to get their act together. When they discover a murdered politician in their load of trash one day, they attempt to sniff out the killer themselves -- a bad idea that quickly lands them in hot water with a greedy, murderous executive guilty of dumping toxic waste into the ocean.

Films in the 1980s revelled in toxic waste (Toxic Avenger, C.H.U.D., The Return of the Living Dead, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), but we had to wait until 1990 for a comedy about garbage men who uncover a conspiracy to dispose of toxic waste. This is probably the only star-studded movie about garbage men that did about as much for garbage men as Baywatch did for lifeguards. You'll find in it, without a doubt, the best montages of garbage removal in the history of cinema. In addition, Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez show you that being a garbage man is a tough job. On the job, you have fun looking at other people's rubbish being thrown at you or competing with your garbage rivals. And since you finish early, you can spend the rest of the day surfing, partying or having sex on the beach. And after all that, watch your neighbours through binoculars. It is, in part, a very infantile variation on Rear Window, drowned in literally fecal humour. It's comedy trash (about trash).
