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.'
Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is
much better than i thought
