Watch Screwed For Free

Just what I expected

As Good As It Gets

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

(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 !

This is what we can expect of the new crop of young writers I suppose who are birthed on violence and video games which have no respect for life or the property of others. Theirs is a video computer world of techno, not live flesh and blood people. Witness this piece of filth, violence, and garbage which has supposedly funny scenes in it like Norm McDonald...not a favorite actor of the thinking mature world... brutalizing an innocent small breed puppy... I believe a Pomeranian...which is represented as vicious and strong...though a known lap dog. Blood spurts everywhere all over the set of a large posh mansion of an elderly lady as they spin around and scream as they beat and slam the living dog.This is NOT a comedy. This is a horror film and has rubbish writing unworthy of any amount of watching. Garbage like this should never make it past the desk of the production company project readers. Perhaps if Norm McDonald and Shappelle would learn from clean, decent, respectable comedies as the filmdom kingdom turned out until around the era of the 1980's, this film would not be seen as merely worthy of burning and banning... and McDonald and Shappelle should be glad this is not the medieval European days... they would have been executed by society.Don't bother. Don't waste your time. Sit in the room with the TV off and count the ceiling tiles. That would be more entertaining.

When Norm MacDonald was on SNL, some of the funniest stuff I ever saw on the show was his Weekend Updates. However, he also had some really bad times where he just wasn't funny, like the whole show at that time. This movie is more like the Norm from the bad SNL's. His type of humor really doesn't change, but there must be something in the delivery or maybe the predictablity of it, because in this movie, it really isn't funny.Obviously, the plot isn't very strong since it's meant to be just a ridiculous comedy, but this is just terrible. The story is kind of dumb, the acting isn't very good, and it's just plain not funny.

I just finished watching this movie and felt I should write a comment about it, which I've never done before. For much of this movie I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. Once or twice I noticed something that didn't makes sense, like in one scene the main characters steal a police car and start it without having keys. But a few seconds later they would do something so funny I just forgot all about it. I would recommend this farce to any of my friends, in fact I'm going to go do that right now.
