Garbage [HD]

Contrived
Abbott and Lennie are two garbage men who have been working together for 13 years and who pick up trash in Beverly Hills. Lenny in particular is a celebrity worshipper and finds his route, which includes the mansions of many of the stars, to be fascinating. One day upon dumping their trash at the landfill, Lenny discovers an Oscar belonging to Cuba Gooding, Jr. He and Abbott take the Oscar back to the office of the trash-collecting company.

Soon word gets out and Abbott and Lenny become instant celebrities. An agent contacts them and sets up numerous interviews (including one with Oprah). Enduring fame seems certain, especially when they are scheduled to go to Cuba Gooding's house to hand over the Oscar (while the TV cameras roll). So certain is Lenny his fame is going to make him wealthy that he hands in his resignation to his boss (who gives him a going-away party).

That's pretty much the plot (except for the predictable ending). And the take-away message isn't...

A brilliant look into Hollywood...
Very intuitive, thought-provoking movie that depicts a no-holds-barred approach to the movie industry, and the amount of division there truly is between the classes. Not since "The Player" have I seen a movie that really tells it like it is in Hollywood, and just how far "fandom" stretches.
