Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
Screwed is latenight cable TV filler disguised as a feature film.
-
Tom Keogh, Film.com
If this is how they want to squander a hard-earned opportunity, they should keep their day jobs.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Screwed is an insane comedy -- not a great one, but a good one, and certainly better than most junk routinely screened and screened again by the studios.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Danny DeVito is the only cast member who succeeds in making something out of the movie's nothing of a screenplay.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
A shrill, stupid, brickbat-blatant piece of hackwork that practically sweats to be 'commercial.'
