Screwed - Due criminali da strapazzo

Decent watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

Top comedians of their time (and probably still now), Norm MacDonald, Dave Chapelle and Danny Devito do a funny job on this movie.

Despite the stuffy older characters, these guys play an idiot's gambit really well, failing upward for comedy silver (at least).

Danny Devito is basically an insane person and I think this movie is a great example of some the range he has.

For a comedy like this, the best thing you can read is that you're going to laugh.

The story is a little stupid, but it works for the comedy's sake.

Willard Fillmore (Norm Macdonald) is a life long butler to the pie mogul Miss Crock (Elaine Stritch). She works him like a dog, treats him like crap, and pays him peanuts. After one insult too many, Willard, with his friend Rusty (Dave Chappelle), decides to kidnap Miss Crock's dog Muffin and hold it for a million dollar ransom. The kidnapping went horribly wrong and the dog got away. Due to the botched kidnapping, Miss Crock thought that Willard had been kidnapped. Willard and Rusty decided to run with that scenario and increased the ransom to $5M. Things didn't go according to plan.

Dave Chappelle and Norm Macdonald together can only mean maximum silliness. The plot was actually not bad, the execution however, needed some work. There were some very funny moments while most of the movie was just mildly humorous. It's an easy carefree movie to sit back and watch at any time; no proper mood necessary.

Oh did I mention Dave Chappelle?

This film is a goofy, hilarious, joke-filled comedy that will have you chuckling every few minutes. It's campy, corny, but laugh-a-minute.

That cast!

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 *****!

We need more silly, corny movies like this with characters running around unhinged & regretting the choices they made! They just don't make them like this anymore.
