Michael Chantiri A film that is equal parts satirical, meta, stupid, fantastic, terrible, smart, funny, mind numbing and disturbing. 'Freddie Got Fingered' is a film that a lot of people hate for good reason but for me I personally can't relate. The film doesn't care if your disturbed, it just keeps assaulting you with goofy situation after situation and I can't help but laugh over the absurdity of it all. It obvious that Tom Green intentionally wanted to make a film that made fun of the conventions of gross out comedy and I think he succeeded.Tom put anything he desired on screen and it's equal parts mesmerizing and disturbing. The fact that they let him put all these uncomfortable things on screen just elevates the film to the most unique comedy I have seen in the gross out genre. There are various tropes here that I've seen in other comedy films that are made fun of. Everything is so extreme that Tom creates his own style of humor that wouldn't of been possible with more studio interference. While the film does excel at shocking there are a lot of genuinely good scenes throughout the film. While Gordy is unlikable he is very engaging for me and Tom Green really portrayed him well. The twisted take on the 'underdog' character was really refreshing to see, Rip Torn gives a memorable performance throughout, the scenes with Tom Green and Anthony Michael Hall are hilarious and show great chemistry, Gordy's relationship with Betty while extremely bizarre kind of had an earnest and sweet nature which I found heart warming. I could go on but that would be missing the point a little bit. Sure the film is doesn't meet the typical standards of a good movie but for what it's worth there is a craft for creating something so different, extreme and polarizing especially when you compare it to other comedies that were coming out around this time.Somehow understood and misunderstood 'Freddy Got Fingered' is a film that I will continue to unlock it's secrets as the years go by.

powermandan I thought I had grown out of toilet humour. Since I waited almost twenty years to see this movie, I expected to hate it as much as the next guy. Well, this movie unleashed the warped sense of humour that still lingers somewhere deep inside my subconscious. I have always been a fan of Tom Green. His show was hilarious and he is always awesome in the movies he's done. Remember him in 'Road Trip'? The reason he worked so well in the movies he did prior to this was because he played minor characters. In 'Freddy Got Fingered,' Green is the protagonist, as well and the director and writer. If you don't like Tom Green, there's no chance in hell that you would like this movie. If you do like Tom Green, as I do, you will not find it quite as bad as most people. Green stars as immature Gord Brody. He is almost 30 and still lives with his parents (Rip Torn, Julie Hagerty) in Oregon. He wants to be an animator and moves to Los Angeles to make his dream a reality. But Gord's twisted sense of humour and a rejection from cartoon mogul (Anthony Michael Hall) cause him to move back home. His parents want him out for good, but Gord soon accuses his father of molesting his 25-year-old brother, Fred (Eddie Kaye Thomas). Gord is a supremely idiotic imbecile. The things he does just for fun are annoying. But Green never once tries to make Gord be taken seriously. And since I get Green's humour and remember some of his old routines, Gord's early jokes made me laugh. The first part is clad with dick jokes that are gross and funny. I didn't feel like laughing much, but it is like watching a dark comedy. When Gord moves back, he falls in love with a paralyzed nurse. There's a scene between them that makes fun of S&M in a fun way. This story with both of them actually is not that bad. Among all of the plots in the movie, Gord and the nurse is the least offensive.Green's warped comedy really started to catch up with me during a scene when he helps a woman give birth. He uses the umbilical cord to spin the baby to wake it up. The jokes start to get old from then on, but Gord accusing his father of of molestation crossed the line. 'Freddy Got Fingered' got past the point of "so bad it's good." Molestation is too sensitive of a subject to make a joke out of. Truth is, it will NEVER be a good punchline. Tom Green's career took a major dive right after this. Frankly, everybody involved with this film hit lows when this movie was released. Well, Rip Torn's career was pretty much over when he did 'Robocop 3' in 1993 with a few good things here and there, but this was the final nail in his coffin. Congrats to those whose career's weren't irreversibly ruined by 'Freddy Got Fingered.'It was with great reluctancy that this movie yanked out my inner idiot and made me laugh at much of Tom Green's warped jokes. There is so much swearing and wild antics that it will make most people's stomach's turn. Widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made (and rightfully so), 'Freddy Got Fingered' is a movie I can't soon forget.

dallasryan To Like Tom Green is to Love Tom Green. If you don't like Tom Green, you won't like this movie. One has to understand and like his humor to get this movie. Too many people looked at this film literally, and to like this movie you have to understand that Tom Green sees the absurd in life and he goes full bore with it and it is absolutely hilarious. Freddy Got Fingered is such a funny movie because Tom Green knows he's making something so off the wall, ridiculous and stupid to the core and that's the brilliance and laugh out loud comedy within this film. It's like Married with Children, the brilliant writers of that show saw the absurdity in life and went with it and only a few truly can get that type of comedy, the rest look at it literally(which is a shame). Well worth the watch, Freddy Got Fingered makes me laugh every time I watch it and if you're one who likes Tom Green and the absurdity and stupidity of every day life, you will love this film and laugh out loud at it. So funny, a must see comedy!

Shilo I have to ask myself a question: "What did I just watch and how long will it take to erase from my memory?" Tom Green's new picture, "Freddy Got Fingered" is a disgusting, offensive and downright repulsive charade of stupidity wrapped in what Tom Green seems to think is funny. He wrote this garbage and it shows he can't write a screenplay, act or direct. I feel bad for anyone who worked on this picture and it begs to ask the question on how this picture got an R rating and why 20th Century Fox greenlit it? They must be really desperate.Tom Green is a Canadian actor from Pembroke Ontario and seems to come off as having his own brand of humor that is not funny at all. He was the star of his on TV Show a few years back called "The Tom Green Show" and now he writes this film as a leap to the big screen. That would be a good move if he could write a screenplay, act or direct. The fact that he wrote this and has his character flogging a horse ten minutes into the movie is disgusting and what's more disturbing is that Green looked like he enjoyed it. He should know that his brand of humor, if you want to call it humor, is not funny and he should have himself checked out. Eddie Kay Thomas should have himself examined because he looks like he is being held at gunpoint throughout the movie.Green's character Gord is a 28-year-old slacker who lives in his parent's basement to his father's dismay. He is unsocialized, hostile, maniac and they buy him a car, only to get him out of the house. He can't handle working in a cheese sandwich factory or having a decent conversation with anyone because he screws up everything he does. Why is that? Gord is a sociopathic manchild that no one can stand to be around. Marisa Coughlin who plays, Betty, who becomes his girlfriend, I guess, only because she was told to for the role. She is in a wheelchair and we are never told why. If you want character depth, look elsewhere. I'm sure she wanted to run after seeing what she got herself into. Anyway, Gord returns home to drive his parents nuts and that is really what this picture is about. I will get to the title later after because it's as stupid as this film.What's even more strange is that the picture has some sort of weird obsession with Cheese and Sausage and it makes Green look unintelligent as a frame for anything he does. At one point he rigs a pulley system so he can eat sausage and work on his drawings. He claims he is being creative but creativity would have to involve intelligence. What the hell is intelligent about this whole scene? It's like Green is trying to take the stupidest things and the most bizarre and jams them all into one movie. Strangely enough, because of how bizarre and whacked out this movie is, I can see it resurfacing years later as that "That bizarre film Tom Green did." Last's hope and pray that's not the case. I really hope no one has to see Tom Green gut a dead Stag and prance around in the bloody skin dressed as a coat in ten years. So, the title "Freddy Got Fingered" is actually the last 20 mins of the picture. Gord causes his father to go bonkers and he tells his mother "You should not let him treat you like that." Gord referring to his father and clearly showing he doesn't know right from wrong because he is responsible for the scene. Anyway, he tells his mother "You should go out and have sex with a total stranger." What? Who the hell says things like this, even for a laugh? I got the sense that a lot of the relationship that Gord has with his parents in the movie may possibly have something in connection with Green's relationship with his own parents and his real life childhood. This would explain a few things seeing as how Green needed the inspiration from somewhere for this out-of-control character. Gord ends up in therapy with his mom and dad and he accuses his dad or touching his younger brother. The therapist tells his dad she has to call the police but yet, Gord throws something at a window, smashes it and sits on the window sill like an animal and screams at the top of his lungs and the therapist doesn't ee the sociopath in him? Oh, who cares.There's a lot of things, I left out because they are too disgusting and really, it doesn't matter because this film should never have been made. In the end, this is 90 mins of disgusting stupidity that shows Tom Green scrapes the bottom of the barrel with material that he thinks is funny but it's not and he should never be given money to make another movie. The ending is about at disgusting as you can get and I'm surprised Rip Torn didn't have a heart attack making this garage. To quote Michael Anthony Hall "It Sucks!"0/10 (ZERO)
