Review of Screwballs

Screwballs (1983)
3/10
Don't they have sex in Canada?
30 December 2000
Why is it that Canadians are so funny in the United States, but are so lousy in their own country? Did all the good ones leave? Does the Canadian government exercise too much control over productions.

Canada is so close to the U.S., I cant believe they don't have a similar sense of sexual humor. Except for one very brief gag, this movie makes no attempt to convey even the slightest motivation as to why teenagers pull the type of pranks they do. Even if you just assume they are just horny adolescents, their gags are highly unoriginal and/or have no original outcome.

Perfect example of how to take an 16mm camera, a large cheap cast and make a throw away film.
