Screwballs

About This Movie

So, 'Screwballs' is this wild, raunchy comedy from '91, and it definitely leans into its sleazy charm. You've got Taylor Wane, who’s juggling some serious corporate nonsense while trying to please a very specific sheik, played by Ron Jeremy. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but it fits the absurdity of the plot. The performances can be hit or miss, but they really lean into the over-the-top vibe. A lot of it feels like a throwback to those goofy teen sex comedies of the era, with some practical effects that are surprisingly effective given the budget. It’s distinctive for how it blends corporate satire with explicit humor, which isn’t something you see every day.

The film has had a somewhat limited home media release history, which adds to its rarity among collectors. It was released on VHS and DVD, but like many low-budget comedies from that era, those formats are becoming harder to find. There’s a niche interest for films like this, especially among collectors who appreciate the late '80s to early '90s schlocky comedies, making it something that pops up occasionally at conventions or in used bins.
