Screw Loose

In the hospital, while speaking to Bernardo, Guido recalls an incident during World War II where a statue of the Virgin Mary had fallen on him and pinned him down, but he was saved by an American soldier named Jake Gordon.Sofia, his girlfriend, who has just scheduled for a plastic surgery, questions about the request and tells him not to take up the job, but he pursues to fulfill his father's will.When he arrives at Los Angeles, California, he visits the mental hospital where Jake Gordon is located, who was found to be delusional just a day after the war ended.They are able to escape the hospital after they push the mental patients on wheelchairs to distract the gate guards, but are discovered by Dr. Barbara and Dr. Hugo, who orders for Jake to be retrieved.The lobby tells them that he went to the beach, and Bernardo finds Jake covering the topless female sunbathers with hand towels.Bernardo breaks them apart, and Jake states his reason of vengeance that he had married 'Giovanna', who claimed to be Guido's wife, but realized that 'she' was actually a man disguised as a woman.Aaron Beierle of DVD Talk called the film "oddly watchable, taking a thin plot and stringing it together with some slapstick gags that the actors overplay strangely, making the moments that do work seem almost accidental."Club wrote, "As a vehicle for the good-natured comic stylings of Greggio, Screw Loose is hopelessly broad, lazy, and underdeveloped.He stated, "While Greggio and company obviously aim for the old-school comedy style of Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati, they fall well below the mark.
