Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Zmajina 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.

saint405 Screwed is a hilarious comedy about a chauffeur named Willard who has been working for the same rich woman, Miss. Virgina Crock, for over 15 years. When he over hears a conversation about her firing him, he and his best Rusty friend decide to kidnap Crocks lovable dog for ransom. Things go awry and Crock thinks that Willard is the one who is kidnapped. As Rusty and Willard find out, they decide to up the ransom and try to make Crock pay for her bad deeds while the two friends are being pursued by the police, having to pay a crazy mortician Grover to help them in the plan, and make fake notes and videos with the kidnapper saying he'll kill Willard if he doesn't get his five million! Now this film is great! Norm is perfect as Willard and Chapelle always cracks me up with Rusty's one liners. Great jokes from the whole cast Examples: "Well he seemed a lot more ferocious when he was alive." "Feroucious, he's an old midget!", "Sweet Jesus, we kidnapped a turd.", Rusty always hits a man with a desk lamp when he is scared, Aunt Mable, Grover the mortician, "A pair of cracker jack cuff links and one crappy pie!", etc. Examples over. Now do yourself a favor and go out to get a copy of Screwed. Screwed gets the big 8, not perfect but it is a hilarious romp. You'll love it, I did. Enjoy!

lambiepie-2 I have a very stressed filled job. So to calm down, I want to laugh at the stupidest, silliest film possible. Once I find something like that, it calms me and puts me to sleep. This film fits the bill. It's short, it's silly and it's stupid.This is NOT a "drop dead" funny film. At points, its downright silly. At points, the acting leaves much to be desired. But some parts make you laugh or shake your head at how silly it is rather than laugh from the jokes. I do not consider Norm McDonald comedic at all. His Saturday Night Live Weekend Updates were as comedic as watching an ant dance on an elephant to me. And his acting here is not all that great..or good. The scene in the park with the two little boys really shows that. But its Elaine Stritch (Miss Crock) who gets my attention. This woman is funny, and in this film, she is ridiculous. The material she is given in this film is horrid, but its her that makes it work -- and everyone around her gets the benefit. Norm and she actually are silly, and in a few cases, it comes out funny. (For example, I laugh everytime I hear her deliver that line: "And you're going to work to pay me back every cent until the day Jesus calls you home.") If you venture to see this film for anything, it will be her.Comedians Dave and Sarah are wasted in this film, I am praying that someday the both of them will get films that are worthy of their comedic talents, this isn't one of them.Danny DeVito is silly to watch, his performance reminds me of if anyone ever wondered what happened years later to Louie on "Taxi", here it is. Not a masterpiece comedic performance by anyones standards, but it was silly. Sherman and Daniel were also wasted in the rolls they were given and it turned out silly and not funny.This is a silly, stupid film that has it's moments. All of the other main actors have a quarter to a half a moment here and there, you just wish it could have been funnier, better acted. But for silly, stupid, mindless enjoyment to get your mind off of things, this is the film for you. And like me, it may be just the non-prescription drug aid you need, to calm you down and put you to sleep.

jtenos When Norm MacDonald was on SNL, some of the funniest stuff I ever saw on the show was his Weekend Updates. However, he also had some really bad times where he just wasn't funny, like the whole show at that time. This movie is more like the Norm from the bad SNL's. His type of humor really doesn't change, but there must be something in the delivery or maybe the predictablity of it, because in this movie, it really isn't funny.Obviously, the plot isn't very strong since it's meant to be just a ridiculous comedy, but this is just terrible. The story is kind of dumb, the acting isn't very good, and it's just plain not funny.
