What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite having real comics in the cast, this tedious and painfully unfunny movie desperately needs a screenplay.

Jesse C. @Deplorable88 Oct 24 Norm and Chapelle at their best. Miss you Norm. See more Greg S @RT77077603 03/14/2025 Well, it's Norm. Does it make sense? Does it deliver? Probably not. But there's a couple funny things in here. It's not something I watch all the time, but maybe once every 7 years is enough. See more 10/03/2021 A movie that only works knowing the cast and their comedy antics - being "in on the joke". Screwed is a nonstop schlock-fest that will make you question why the film was ever made in the first place. And that is exactly why it is humorous. It's hilarious seeing two of the funniest comedians in the past few decades throw all their bad ideas in a giant bag and pair it together with the worst acting they could usher up. If you're not looking for a film full of shlock then avoid this movie, but if you love to laugh at shlock it definitely delivers. See more 04/14/2021 It's amateurish direction and production is buoyed by an extremely strong cast and redeemable premise. It's underwhelming in almost every regard given the talent on screen, but the talent shines through enough to make Screwed a passable affair. See more 03/01/2021 The laughs are real, so don't get screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 11/17/2020 Goddamnit, how in the fuck can you not love a movie with Dave Chapelle, Norm Macdonald AND a young, incredibly hot Sarah Silverman? I think it's hilarious. And why is it that critics always have shit taste in movies? As Dave Chapelle recently said about critics: "SHUT THE FUCK UP FOREVER", thank you very much :) See more Read all reviews
