Va te faire foutre Freddy!

Freddy Got Fingered is neither clever, nor entertaining, and is certainly not anything more than the masturabatorial direction debut of a fool with a camera. The film has no arc, no genuine plot development, and not a single character is likable (not to be confused with the Byronic-Heros of films like "A Clockwork Orange,"). The vast majority of the scenes serve no purpose at all in the film. Those who claim that the film is not just a 'gross-out' comedy are sadly mistaken. There is no second interpretation of an elephant masturbation scene. It does not 'portray' anything remotely deeper than the superficiality of it's repulsiveness. Those who claim that this film is similar to other shunned films at their debut (references to "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Shining") are using inaccurately transitive properties. It's like saying that since slavery abolitionists of the 1800's were initially unpopular, yet now are heroes, that neo-nazis should be held as heroes since they are presently unpopular. Not to mention that the films cited above were unpopular because they filmed scenes that were supplemental to the plot, yet appeared graphic, and ultimately enhanced the social commentary. THERE IS NO SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN A BABY-SWINGING FILM. And don't try and claim that 'individuality' angle. Charles Manson was 'individual' too. In conclusion, do not watch this film. If you are thinking about watching it because you heard so many bad reviews and think it would be entertaining in it's awfulness, go no further. This film deserves no respect. It is a stain on the art of films.

This movie was stupid and sick. People told me that it was stupid and sick, but i decided to waste my money and see for myself. I wish i would have listened because this was probably the worse movie of 2001, let alone just by itself. I would give it 1/10. Drew Barrymore even made a camo in the movie. Tom Green was horrible. I can see why they are getting a divorce. But if you like sick stuff like that then this is your movie.

This movie is pretty funny, but you need a very peculiar sense of humor to appreciate it. If you're like me and burst out laughing at the idea of wild animalistic clowns making honking noises with their red noses to signal their attack, Freddy Got Fingered will make you laugh so hard green goo will spurt from your nipples!

If there is a class action lawsuit to make Tom Green give people the 87 minutes of their lives that he STOLE with this piece of crap, SIGN ME UP!!! I know that telling people not to watch the movie won't stop them from doing it,therefore, let me give you some movie watching advice that may save your life...DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE WITH A LOADED FIREARM OR SHARP OBJECT NEARBY!!! The temptation to end your suffering by either shooting yourself or gouging your own eye-balls out may be too great to resist. Anyone who believes this movie is REMOTELY funny should seriously seek psychiatric help. The bright side is that George Lucas can finally take the Star Wars Christmas Special off the #1 spot of the most awful incident caught on film. Not only the worst movie of all time, but possibly the WORST IDEA IN HUMAN HISTORY!!!

Gord Brody wants to be an animator, but his father is too authoritarian and the head of the animation studio says he has no future. So, Gord moves back home and wreaks havoc on his family, including the accusation that his brother Freddy was "fingered" by his father.

Many people think this film is horrible. Certainly, the Razzy Awards thought so. I, also, didn't think much of it when I first saw the movie. Tom Green is more annoying in this film than he ever was before. But the movie also grows on you, and if you can get the right mindset you might appreciate it. (Not unlike "Napoleon Dynamite" which is either stupid or genius based on how you approach it.) I watched this with two people (Jason and Matt) who thought it was "the greatest comedy ever"... I wouldn't go that far. Though, I think if it was slightly different, the same plot with the same jokes could have been hilarious. (I can't pinpoint exactly what's "off") The supporting cast is helpful, with Harland Williams being funny and the best role going to Rip Torn as the father. Torn entered something of a Renaissance in the mid-2000s, which I wouldn't doubt it related in part to his work in this film. Would he have been chosen for "Dodgeball"? I have my doubts. Drew Barrymore is decent in her small role, and Anthony Michael Hall was excellent (and hardly recognizable to those of us who remember him from "The Breakfast Club").

What makes this film noteworthy is the real push into both absurdity and obscenity. Cow udders and horse penises do not usually get placed in feature films, nor do keyboards rigged to pulleyed sausages. There is something beautiful about this. While I find "gross-out" humor awful (this is my biggest beef with films like "Van Wilder" and "American Pie"), many like it and this film really paved the way for films that would come out after it (though was by no means the beginning of gross-out). And I can think of no film as absurd.

And it just increases as the film goes on. Small jokes like the "must have experience with cheese sandwiches" really make me chuckle, and the big scenery change towards the end just goes over the top in a way few films, if any, have thought to do before. Tom Green is either a complete genius or mentally retarded man with very lucid dreams. I'm not sure which.

Underneath it all, under the stupidity, absurdity, obscenity and poor acting... there is a message here. Something about rocket-propelled wheelchairs and shooting the moon, achieving your dreams. Maybe the presentation was a little untraditional but it works. Be prepared to give this film a second chance, it's not as bad as you remember.
