Pretty stupid, but not necessarily a bad thing

Screwed really didn't start off all that promising. The two lead characters kidnap a dog in a scene that played out kind of like a 'Something About Mary' ripoff screne (where dog attacks character) and things didn't really get much better from there at first. However, about 30 minutes into the movie as I was about to give up on it, things really started to pick up and it had me entertained, only to be let down somewhat by the ending. This definitely is along the lines of a 'stupid' comedy and nothing intellectual about it, but I still found it very funny in parts (especially Dave Chappelle and the second desk lamp scene). The two lead characters are so stupid and the plot itself has so many holes in it, but I think in the end, these two factors work in favor of the movie. I would recommend this as a rental, but only if you enjoy these types of comedies .. and stay with it until at least 30 minutes into the movie!
