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 *****!

I just finished watching this movie and felt I should write a comment about it, which I've never done before. For much of this movie I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. Once or twice I noticed something that didn't makes sense, like in one scene the main characters steal a police car and start it without having keys. But a few seconds later they would do something so funny I just forgot all about it. I would recommend this farce to any of my friends, in fact I'm going to go do that right now.
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.

Screwed really didn't start off all that promising. The two lead characters kidnap a dog in a scene that played out kind of like a 'Something About Mary' ripoff screne (where dog attacks character) and things didn't really get much better from there at first. However, about 30 minutes into the movie as I was about to give up on it, things really started to pick up and it had me entertained, only to be let down somewhat by the ending. This definitely is along the lines of a 'stupid' comedy and nothing intellectual about it, but I still found it very funny in parts (especially Dave Chappelle and the second desk lamp scene). The two lead characters are so stupid and the plot itself has so many holes in it, but I think in the end, these two factors work in favor of the movie. I would recommend this as a rental, but only if you enjoy these types of comedies .. and stay with it until at least 30 minutes into the movie!

- TriviaAppearing in Norm MacDonald: Nothing Special (2022) Dave Chappelle informs viewers that he tried to get out of filming this movie because his father had recently passed away and he was inconsolable and not in the state of mind to make this film. Chappelle couldn't get out of the movie, and though the movie was not a hit, Chappelle credits Norm MacDonald with helping him to move on from his grief-stricken state during the twelve weeks they spent making the movie.
- GoofsWhen Willard and Rusty are being shot at by Grover in the police car, he shoots bullet holes in the hood, then the holes go away and he shoots new ones in again in a different shot.
