Honouring the Worst Movies of the Noughties - #7: Screwed (2000)

No love for the Danny DeVito comedy from the critics - and a metascore of 7 as a result

"Just how and why Grover is lured into this kidnapping plot is too boring to go into. Suffice it to say, he is offered a large sum of money to find a matching corpse on which another character's identification will be planted. The body Grover selects to impersonate a much younger and healthier man happens to be that of an ancient white-bearded dwarf." - Stephen Holden, New York Times

"As bad as the title, and much longer." - Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide

". . . gives stupid, vulgar comedy a bad name." - Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle
