everything you have heard about this movie is true.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Screwed (2000): Dir: Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski / Cast: Norm Macdonald, Dave Chappelle, Elaine Stritch, Danny De Vito, Sherman Hemsley: Absolute crap with a title that indicates how viewers should feel upon spending valuable income to see it. Norm MacDonald slaves for a crabby old Mrs. Crock who owns a chain of pie stores. Upon learning that he will be fired he and pal Dave Chappelle kidnap her dog in hopes of extorting ransom money. We are given a disgusting scene where the dog bites MacDonald's hand and he thrashes about, yet the lady remains asleep. The dog escapes and MacDonald is believed to be kidnapped. Dumb concept with an insincere ending. Directed by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski with no appeal. Why this junk needed two directors is beyond me. MacDonald fails in portraying someone viewers might relate too in terms of his job position. His scheme is amusing but his sincerity is lacking in the end. Chappelle plays his idiotic best friend who has the tendency to assault people with lamps. Elaine Stritch plays Mrs. Crock who is one note the whole way. Danny De Vito is interesting as a mortician caught up in the scheme and retaliates when odds are against him, then he scores the unlikely. Sherman Hemsley appears to remind us that he was great in The Jeffersons and not so great in this junk. Pointless bag of trash should be beat with a hammer. Score: 0 / 10

I'm a little disappointed with this movie because I thought that it would be better. I expected more from this one. Plot is fine and best performance is delivered by Danny DeVito in a small role. He should be more in this movie. Norm MacDonald and Dave Chappelle can make that stupid face and they are OK each in their roles. But only DeVito and Elaine Stritch managed to do something with their characters.This movie is not bad but it isn't good too. It's somewhere in the middle. It starts good but in the middle of the movie gets boring. I don't know on what scenes other people laughed at. It's not that funny and most of scenes I've seen before in other movies. Small, little comedy but just don't expect too much. And take a look on Danny DeVito's performance.

The people who knock this movie have no sense of what makes a movie funny. Screwed was indeed funny, much more so than for example, Anchorman. Actually, everyone I know was laughing constantly throughout this terrific comedy! I'm not going to give anything big away, but after Norm McDonald and Dave Chappelle realize they have failed to kidnap Mrs. Crock's dog, Chappelle let's out one of the funniest one-liners that I have ever heard. We are talking non-stop laughs throughout this move. The plot is absurd, but this seriously added to the film's overall hilarity. If you miss this movie due to negative comments made by various users, you have truly done yourself an injustice.

What a dumb, unfunny movie. I got this film for a gift , I watched it and thought it was terrible. My question is, why would Danny DeVito ever agree to appear in such aterrible movie? I would not recommend this movie to anybody. 2 out of 10
