Movie Description
In a small, casual beachside community, two garbagemen dream of opening a surf shop. But one day, when their load of trash contains the body of the murdered city councilman, their whole world is turned upside down as the greedy, murderous executive, whose company has been dumping toxic waste into the ocean, attempts to make trash out of them too.
Synopsis
Brat-pack auteur Emilio Estevez directs himself and his brother Charlie Sheen in this environmentally conscious comedy.
Carl and James are two sanitation engineers who enjoy pulling excrement-themed pranks on coworkers and dream of opening their very own surfing goods store. In the meantime, they're happy just to guzzle beers and play Trivial Pursuit.
Then one day, while emptying a typical garbage can, they dump out a dead political candidate. And the more they learn about this stiff, the more trouble they're in -- especially after they uncover an illegal toxic waste disposal plot.
Now Carl and James must decide whether to contact the authorities or abandon the corpse and go catch some waves.

Industry Reviews

New York Times - p.15 - Vincent Canby
"...A pleasant, knockabout comedy....It is fresh, inventive and has very few moments when it's not generating laughs..."
Los Angeles Times - p.F10 - Kevin Thomas
