DIRTY WORK
title: DIRTY WORKyear: 1998
cast: Norm MacDonald, Artie Lange, Jack Warden, Chris Farley
rating: **
Okay, so this is one of the worst comedies ever made. And Norm MacDonald, while being a hilarious standup, can't act a lick. But he surrounds himself with hilarious and talented actors including Chris Farley in his last role: as a frustrated barfly without a nose; Don Rickles as an insult-spouting theater owner; and Jack Warden as the father of Artie Lange, Norm's fat, and very unfunny sidekick, both lifelong pals who go into the revenge business: taking on pompous corporate villain Chris MacDonald. Lame jokes abound, but somehow, in a very strange way, you'll be drawn in: thinking it couldn't possibly get any worse... which it does, but maybe that's the point all along.
