Saw it at a screening in Los Feliz with the writer/directors giving a Q&A before showing a half hour clip from the Bollywood remake. Had a great time. Really lost my shit when they explained that the movie only exists because Norm was killing time reading scripts as he waited for a meeting to start and missed a stage direction on the first page that described his character as an older black man. As you can imagine the movie -which was written in 1991 as a sendup of Driving Miss Daisy, but instead exists as a 2000 Norm Macdonald vehicle- borders on incomprehensible. Huge chunks of plot seem to be missing, Sarah Silverman is never technically introduced, the music feels…
Alexander and Karaszewski's sole directorial effort is very much a reaction to what Tarantino and the Coens were doing throughout the '90s, inserting normal people into a high-stakes crime escapade characterized by morbid humor and a deep bench of supporting players. Macdonald and Chappelle have plenty of great jokes, many of which feel improvised, while the actual plot struggles to sustain its brief 81 minutes despite a refreshingly anti-capitalist bent.
Similar to The Departed, Martin Scorsese should remake this film. It'd be a three hour epic with the same twists and turns, but with so much more depth and flavor. The humor is irrelevant. Leonardo DiCaprio is Norm. Jamie Foxx is Dave. DeVito is still DeVito. Instead of the Ernest movie caliber score, we get The Rolling Stones and Dropkick Murphys. Instead of the shoddy editing and filmmaking, we get Scorsese's attention to detail and craft.
Like all Larry & Scott projects (and Norm), you get it or you don't. Great cast, ridiculous story and a fun score. It's easier to get on the wagon and say it stinks than get it and enjoy it. Same can be said for Norm. Godspeed.
Stop! They're stupid and confused!

This movie is an incredibly stupid, but man I Iike it. It moves along like a speeding truck and Norm Macdonald, Dave Chappelle and of course Danny DeVito all crack me up. Even Elaine Stritch holds her own as the ornery rich woman.

Every now and then you just gotta turn off your brain, pour some drinks and revel in the stupidity.

They had those two sticks on a chain that you swing around and hurt people with.

Cinematic Time Capsule - 2000 Ranked
goes down easy (its a late 90s studio pic) but no real laffs, insane considering the cast. not good when the funniest thing abt yr wacky black comedy is the marquees from when it played theaters ("erin brockovich screwed the flintstones in viva rock vegas"). i love watchin em but these guys should be selfish assholes, not naive, well-meaning doofuses. somehow 1000x less edgy than dirty work despite both being pg13. 'jack lord fan club' is one of the laziest, most obligatory forced quirks ever thrown in a movie. everybody mentions wasting norm, dave, silverman & devito but add stritch & helmsley to that list, whose pairing feels vaguely racist. only a clip of glen or glenda & devito's collection of weird shit pulled out of corpses saves this from total boredom
I see 'Dirty Work' getting all the attention this week, and deservedly so. I love that movie, can quote large sections of it, and find it represents IMO everything that was great about Norm Macdonald. I'd never seen Screwed before, and knew it doesn't exactly have a great reputation. But when you put two of the funniest people I can think of onscreen together in Norm and Dave Chappelle, I can't help but laugh and generally have a good time, no matter how bad the script might be. I could laugh listening to these guys read the news, you know like Norm used to do, you get what I mean. Hilariously dumb with an almost pointless plot, but I think…
Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski's "Screwed" is one of those obnoxious, bottom-of-the-barrel studio comedies that would be easily dismissed if so many of its gags failed to work. Make no mistake; the film, following Norm MacDonald, Dave Chappelle, Elaine Stritch, and Danny DeVito in a plot built on a kidnapping comedy of errors, consists of braying characters, low-to-mid range production values, and questionable humor. When the jokes, comedy set-pieces, and character bits land, however, they really land. Half the runtime is spent wishing for the credits to roll; the other half is spent laughing out loud. It all makes for a watchable wash.
"Sweet Jesus! We kidnapped a turd!" 😀💩
After a screening of this at the Los Feliz 3 with a pre AND post movie discussion with the writer-directors, I genuinely, and I'm not exaggerating, know more about the Norm MacDonald caper comedy Screwed than I do my own family history.
Danny DeVito's biggest oscar snub.
