Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

Every minute I spent watching it, I rued the fact that I spent €1 buying this DVD. Would NOT even wish it on someone I had a grudge against. It is just that awful.

Jeez to think that 1€ I could have spent on something way more productive like a new drain-sieve...

Just where to begin... misled by the clown's comment on the first page of this IMDb review, as well as a wacky description for the movie, and the fact that it was available for 1€ at a garage sale (the only movie in that collection, which tells ya, how others view this horrible flick), I made the error of judgment and actually bought this DVD.

What followed were 1,5 hours of the worst kind of rubbish one can pass off as a film. Even Tom Green, I thought, had standards... well this movie put an end to those notions too.

Ack, a day to lament, and this DVD, best used as a coaster.

Fmovies: I think I may have gotten 1/3 into the movie before I hit the off key. Let me see if I can think of a few words to describe this movie...STUPID, GROSS, VULGAR, and totally without any socially redeeming value. How did this even get made? I have seen some pretty bad movies in my life, but this takes the cake. I had seen Green's other movie, Road Trip and found it worth some chuckles, but Freddy falls so far into the gutter that that that...trust me stay away from this one.

Upon its' release, many critics gasped at the extremeness of Tom Green's gross out comedy, ‘Freddy Got Fingered'. Yet, all I have to say is that those critics simply blew the situation way out of proportion. Yes, the film is crude, offensive, vulgar, and most of all – just plain awful. But then again, what the hell did they expect from Tom green? Some executive at Fox must have heard that Tom Green was the new hot thing and decided to give him a contract to write and direct his own movie. That man is certainly fired as of now. This film is silly and morally offensive. Yet, surely it is all in good fun. The only thing is that it isn't fun. Besides a running plot gag having the same child getting injured in an extraordinary set of circumstances every thirty minutes, this film lacks laughs and is merely aiming for shock value. Furthermore, classic actor Rip Torn loses all credibility as he turns in the worst performance of his life as an alcoholic drunk father who apparently molests his youngest child, hence the title. And Tom green does not play the title character. Yet, the craziness does not stop there. I did not mention the plot yet. This film works on the notion of Green's character; Gord, returning home after a failed attempt in Hollywood to search for employment as an animator for his own series of cartoons. Shortly after his dream fails, he moves back home only to engage in caning a paraplegic for her sexual pleasure, masturbating a horse, sucking on a cow' udder and opening the carcass of a deer only to prance around in it and use it as a fashion accessory. And that is only the first 20 minutes. This film contains the most bizarre humour and even when it tries to develop a serious tone for the sake of progressing the ridiculous plot – it cannot be. It simply is a bad film that contains the silliest climax ever. The only good thing about this film is when it ends.

Giancarlo's Rating: *

Freddy Got Fingered fmovies. Judging by poor reviews from critics, poor box office numbers, and a particularly bad user rating here at iMDb; Freddy Got Fingered may as well turn out to be the worst movie ever made! I'm not exaggerating either. The sick twisted sense of humor from Tom Green is put on the big screen. BAD IDEA!!! There was one man in this movie that saved me from walking out of the theatre, Rip Torn. He was a hoot in this movie. I must admit to see him smack around Tom Green like that is satisfying. However, I think he is at the lowest point of his career and not even he can save this pretty sorry movie. I did laugh a few times like some of the cameos that this film has and of course Rip Torn, but it was too gross to be called at least a chuckable experience. This movie does have a loyal audience following and about 90% are Canadian. Let's face it, Canadians have different senses of humor than Americans. They think this movie is hilarious. Oh, wait o they don't! :( BEWARE!!! Like the tag line says, "This Time You Can't Change The Channel!", but you can walk out of the theatre and demand your money back!

I just saw this movie on pay-per-view, and I'm have to say that it's the biggest waste of money ever. "Freddy Got Fingered" is the most disgusting, pathetic movie I've ever seen in my entire life. It is so brutally awful, it makes Troma's movies look like Citizen Kane! I know people think that Tom Green is just jerking the audience's chain like Andy Kaufman did, but when Kaufman did it, it was actually FUNNY. Kaufman didn't have to resort to vulgar, sickening crap. I had a friend who loves Tom Green, and even he says the movie sucks. What does that say about it?

To paraphrase the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons: "Worst movie ever."

The Farrelly brothers have a black sense of humor sometimes, but I get it, it's still funny. This is just plain moronic. I have to doubt there was even a written script for this, what would be the point. Either way, I don't recommend.
