Screwed (2000)

MY kids (ages 8,12) and I came across this movie while channel surfing and found ourselves cracking up at the silly humor in this movie. Norm Mcdonald played his usual dead pan dumb as a rock character but it was the supporting cast that carried the movie. David Chappelle was great as his just as stupid best friend. Danny DeVitto, as the dumb co-conspirator, made you see how greed can make the stupidest people even stupider (I know it's not a word) Their stupidity gets them in more trouble than any one idiot can bare but yet you can't help but root for for them but in the end as the title suggests everyone gets "Screwed".

Remember to have a good day when you see this movie otherwise you may come away thinking it was as dumb as the characters in it.

Fmovies: When i noticed this movie had not yet even been reviewed by its release date, I knew it was going to flop. I decided to see it anyways on its first showing at the local theatre with my friend. There was a total of 4 people (including us) in the theatre. Oh geez, I thought. A fan of SNL and Norm MacDonald, I figured it can't be THAT bad. Well, I'll just say as soon as the movie started, I was laughing. I never stopped laughing, honestly. It was one of the funniest movies I had seen in the theatres since The Whole Nine Yards. I could definately see that some of the immature humor would turn off some people, but if you like goofy, slapstick comedy, or are a fan of Saturday Night Live, you will probably find this movie entertaining. If not, so sue me.

If you're like me and don't want to waste your time on brainless comedies, you might have very well missed this nice little film. Why? Because it sure looks brainless at first. If I had had anything better to do during the first five or ten minutes of "Screwed", I'd have turned off the TV.

But I watched it long enough to realize it was actually very funny. However, it is so unashamedly and deliberately superficial that you can very easily miss its charm if you see only a couple of scenes. Each element (actors, script, direction) is weak by itself. But when they are combined, they somehow manage to conjure that rare magic which we call a good comedy.

Unfortunately, at the two-thirds mark, the film develops an additional plot which is just boring. Your cue: stop watching when DeVito starts ripping off posters from lampposts. From that moment on, the frequency of good jokes decreases dramatically.

Still, the first part of the film is a laugh fest. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good light-hearted (and slightly vulgar) comedy.

Screwed fmovies. While 'Screwed' is far from the essential comedy, it's definitely worth a rental! Norm Macdonald (The Norm Show) plays Willard, the under-appreciated butler to rich Bakery franchise owner, Miss Crock (Elaine Strich), who finds himself about to lose his job. Willard and his best pal, Rusty (Dave Chappelle) decide to kidnap Miss Crock's dog, but they soon find themselves hilariously over their heads as things go astray.

Danny DeVito also makes a welcome appearance in this film as the weird mortician, Grover- who likes his job a little too much! 'Screwed' is a predictable but fun to watch film with decent performances from the cast. Not a classic as others have suggested, but good for a laugh if you feel like watching something light-hearted! ***1/2 out of *****!

Actually Screwed does not require thinking at all. It's just a fun, silly movie and it knows it. We happened across it on TV when nothing else caught our fancy and we are glad we did. It's silly and at one point it can be a little bit gross but overall it's just funny. Just sit back, laugh and forget about the outside world for a while.

Was it cheesy? Hell yeah. It had all the 90's comedy attributes and it was just ridiculous. There were some solid laughs too and seeing Dave Chappelle, Danny DeVito, and Norm McDonald all on the same screen was just baller, especially to look back on it now. I feel like if this movie dropped today, it would make millions. Look at how far Danny and Dave have come since 2000. Especially Dave because it would be a huge comeback movie everyone would go see it. Fun to see how time changes the perspective of movies! I don't want to spoil too much for you but definitely check it out.
