Screwed (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Screwed is a 2000 comedy film starring Norm MacDonald and Dave Chappelle, and written and directed by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski.

The film, released by Universal Studios, is rated PG-13 (in the United States) for crude and sex-related humor, nudity, language, some violence and brief drug content.

The film also stars Elaine Stritch, Danny DeVito, Sarah Silverman, and Sherman Helmsley.

It went through a number of title changes before the producers finally settled on "Screwed"; preliminary titles included "Pittsburgh" (the name of the Pennsylvania town in which the film takes place) and also "Ballbusted" (due to Stritch's character's harshness exhibited throughout the movie; at one point, Chappelle's character refers to her as a "ballbuster").

An overworked, underpaid chauffeur kidnaps his boss's dog when she (the boss) refuses to buy him a new uniform. The dog is held for a $1,000,000 ransom; this plan fails and the chauffeur pursues other ways to get even. Their plan went wrong when they get the money only to lose it to two small children. Norm's character is then found by the police and sent to a hospital. Then, the police find a dead body that was supposed to take the place of Norm as he made his getaway. Now the police are after the coroner accomplice who goes on a rampage looking for revenge.
