Va te faire foutre Freddy!

I have sense of humor, really. I love SOUTH PARK and THE SIMPSONS. I watch JACK ASS and used to watch THE TOM GREEN SHOW. And laugh. And laugh the next day when I thought about what Tom did on the show the night before.

But this movie sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks. I hope that Tom will find a better outlet for his unique sense of humor. Maybe he'll get a break, like Jack Black did with School of Rock. We can only hope ...

I understand that this is a terrible movie but it's also incredibly hilarious and so quotable. I usually avoid these types of films until someone forces me to watch them - but Tom Green is an absolute genius. The sausages, honestly. The psychologist's office. The cheese sandwiches. The horse. I've laughed so hard at moments in this movie. Much more than I've cringed at the parts that fell flat. Please don't think you're too good to laugh at Tom Green until you have given him a go. He isn't for everyone but he might surprise you.

Okay. So I can see why this film has got such a bad rap. It's truly sick, twisted and some of the scenes will leave you more than a little shocked. But isn't this the point?

I hadn't seen any of Tom Green's work before this, but this film made me laugh - hard - on more than one occasion. It's definitely not going to appeal to every one, but I for one feel that sometimes comedy is at it's best when it is at it's most outrageous. That's not to say the film is perfect however, not by a long way.

Some of the scenes are simply too bizarre to be amusing, and some feel they have just been included for there shock value, and seem to add no value to the 'plot' or flow of the film (a couple of scenes involving 1) a horse and 2) a dead deer spring to mind). Also some of the humour is in such bad taste that you will find yourself shifting uncomfortably in your seat.

The film does redeem itself though, with some truly hilarious scenes, and a kind of South Park 'I think I've learned something today' ending. The bottom line is that this film is either going to appeal to your sense of humour, or it isn't. I for one am glad that Hollywood are prepared to release films that aren't going to conform to everybody's 'standards'.

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.

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.
