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).
College students Max and Dwight form a moving company to pay for tuition. Along the way, they cross the Mob, which runs a rival moving company.
The unfortunate ending scene is where the main characters run over the mayor's dog. An uncalled for ending to an otherwise, in my opinion, fairly amusing movie.
