Odd Jobs is a 1986 American comedy film directed by Mark Story.[1] It was the last film distributed by TriStar Pictures before HBO dropped out of the TriStar venture and sold half of its shares to Columbia Pictures (later sold to Sony).

Plot

[edit]

College students Max (Paul Reiser) and Dwight (Robert Townsend) form a moving company to pay for tuition. Along the way they cross the mob who runs a rival moving company.

Critical reception

[edit]

The movie received generally poor reviews. The Sun-Sentinel called it "insufferable" and full of "stupid sight gags and pointless jokes."[2]
