Review of Screwball

Screwball (2018)
7/10
Doping Gets A Dopey Doc
29 September 2021
Screwball lives up to it's title. It takes a quite satirical method of telling how the Major League Baseball doping scandal came about. Picking out the poster child of Dr. Tony Bosch as the major performance drug purveyor to the A-List on a tip from a one-time Average Joe user acolyte turned whistleblower over an unpaid $4000 loan. The whole thing was at various times akin to a circus as it unfoldedl In the end it ook down not only the "fake" doctor but a chunk of Major League talent as it tarnished the sport. Actually the comic relief is entertaining, but the dark side is hardly addressed which isn't too surprising as that unsavory part is likely considered damage control/self-preservation of a billion-dollar industry.
