Was it cheesy? Hell yeah. It had all the 90's comedy attributes and it was just ridiculous. There were some solid laughs too and seeing Dave Chappelle, Danny DeVito, and Norm McDonald all on the same screen was just baller, especially to look back on it now. I feel like if this movie dropped today, it would make millions. Look at how far Danny and Dave have come since 2000. Especially Dave because it would be a huge comeback movie everyone would go see it. Fun to see how time changes the perspective of movies! I don't want to spoil too much for you but definitely check it out.

Remember when Norm MacDonald was funny? Okay, remember when people thought Norm MacDonald was funny? There was a time in the late- nineties/early-two-thousands he got the full post-SNL treatment: a few leads in a a bunch of little seen comedies, his own sitcom which lasted a few seasons and he even got a gig as Lucky the Dog in Doctor Dolittle (1998). Among his various appearances at that time was the 2000 flop Screwed co-starring Dave Chappelle, Danny DeVito and Elaine Stritch. In it Norm plays a mistreated chauffeur who kidnaps his boss's dog and holds it ransom. After a series of unfortunate events however, the dog winds up back home and the boss and authorities believe the chauffeur to be kidnapped.What sets Screwed apart from other SNL-themed dead-horse-beaters is its unpredictability. While the insanity never reaches an energetic crescendo, its never the fault of the winning script; written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. You may recall they are the same writing partners that made Ed Wood (1994), The People Vs. Larry Flynt (1996) and Man on the Moon (1999). In Screwed their slumming not just as writers but as directors yet there's still a sly subtext of a desperate working class struggling against an uncaring bourgeoisie. It brings to mind Big Deal on Madonna Street (1958) among other Commedia all'italiana only set to American tastes.All the supporting cast members including and especially Elaine Stritch and Dave Chappelle have brought their A-game. Norm MacDonald stands as the only discord in this goofy farce about crime and desperation. That and perhaps the sloppy, almost Kevin Smith-like direction and cinematography. Other than that however, the movie is worth a second look or at the very least worth more than a 7% on rottentomatoes. Even Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) got away with a 19%.

I managed to rent this movie from a local Blockbuster and watch it at home a few days ago, and, while this movie wasn't a comedic masterpiece, it wasn't a bad movie either, in fact, it was actually a quite funny movie at some points. The main cast here (Dave, Norm, and Danny), do very good with the script they are given, and there were quite a few funny lines throughout the movie (Especially when Dave and Norm's characters meet Danny DeVito's character for the first time, as well as a majority of Mrs. Crock's lines.) Overall, if you happen to watch this movie, while you won't get a laugh a minute experience, you won't be disappointed with the movie either, as it's one of those good, funny movies that you could watch to waste away a boring day.

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.
