Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

elshikh4 (Norm Macdonald), I watched him in his masterpiece (Dirty work - 1998) and in a few other roles, he is so good and for sure you'll wonder where is such a comedian ?!. There are no big nor many movies for him but is that the reason of his performance which's still pretty much the same ? or the result of it ?!.(Danny DeVito). Despite being one of the super gifted ones, and despite that I can't forget his one great moment when he was explaining how the showering brush got lost ! But what a gross comedy he makes sometimes, including some of what he did here.(Sarah Silverman), her face was more dead than all the corpses in the movie ! And there wasn't much of a role for her basically ! (Daniel Benzali) as the sly police officer. He is too silly to stand (I hated him in that TV series : Murder One), and the writers didn't make him a parody for any famous cinema or TV's inspector, or even a very stupid man who acts like he is so intelligent !.. Or anything could use the role to create some fun or to utilize the personality of (Benzali) himself !Although I loved some clever parts : The double interrogation scene, the statue's tooth brushing, the failing abduction of the dog. But there are some things which made the taste of this sweet comedy a little bitter ! Such as : too many corpses, a half naked old woman !!, and a lot of toilet humor (OH GOD this is horrible and not droll at all !!). This movie looks like another (Ruthless People - 1986) for Danny DeVito also !, with a lot of talented twists done by a very fast cartoon speed yet in a low budget and by a mediocre direction, so it's funny indeed but not THAT hilarious funny.I think (Scott Alexander) and (Larry Karaszewski) did much more better job in (Ed Wood - 1994) and it wasn't just a comedy, it was a smart black comedy and a biography too ! So I didn't understand Danny DeVito's obsessive love for Jack Lord ?! How he got away from all the accusations (to frame Sherman Hemsley instead ?!), and what was the necessity of the affair between Elaine Stritch and Norm's father ? Especially when he wouldn't turn out to be her son in the end ??.. And stuff like that.All in all it's a good comedy which had a lot of unused potentials, like it was an abduction mission to kidnap your admiration but as the movie's too many abductions.. It wasn't that compact !

brettmajors_karaokeking The people who knock this movie have no sense of what makes a movie funny. Screwed was indeed funny, much more so than for example, Anchorman. Actually, everyone I know was laughing constantly throughout this terrific comedy! I'm not going to give anything big away, but after Norm McDonald and Dave Chappelle realize they have failed to kidnap Mrs. Crock's dog, Chappelle let's out one of the funniest one-liners that I have ever heard. We are talking non-stop laughs throughout this move. The plot is absurd, but this seriously added to the film's overall hilarity. If you miss this movie due to negative comments made by various users, you have truly done yourself an injustice.

NYGuy322 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.

MartinHafer Norm MacDonald works for a very rich and nasty lady (Elaine Stritch). After putting up with tons of abuse from her, he decided to get revenge by kidnapping her horrid dog and holding it hostage. His friend (Dave Chappelle) lends him a hand and soon are the subject of a nationwide manhunt! Will the guys get away with it or will they go to prison and become somebody's boy toys?The reviews for this movie were SAVAGE. I've seen wars get better reviews! The attacks were strong and brutal. That's probably why I am so charitable in my review. It just didn't seem like a bad film to me. Great?! No way, but there were enough moments to keep my interest and merit a score of 6. Sometimes I wonder if I am crazy (a possibility) or the movie reviewers are just lemmings who follow each other's leads.Elaine Stritch was incredibly mean and hateful, as her role demanded and there were some other supporting actors who I really liked as well, but the one who really stood out to me was Danny DeVito's incredibly weird and funny bit part as the president of the Jack Lord fan club (and a total psycho to boot).By the way, if you liked this film, try watching another MacDonald film DIRTY WORK. It might be a tad funnier but both very rough comedies make you laugh--and isn't that enough sometimes?
