If you are looking for a moronic, low-brow, hilarious movie, "Freddy Got Fingered" is absolutely immaculate. It has enough of a plot to keep you interested but is so absurd that no one could ever take it seriously. "FGF" is completely random, which I really enjoyed, and Tom Green is as spectacular as ever. If you liked "The Tom Green Show" that aired on MTV during the late 90's then you will enjoy this film; if not then you will find this motion picture completely asinine and abhorrent. There is lots of gross-out humor that is not for the faint of heart and the ending is absolutely priceless. I recommend that everyone spend a Saturday night with a six-pack of cheap beer and "Freddy Got Fingered," you will never forget it.

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 you think, "I'm not going to turn off this movie, it just has to get better!!"..... It doesn't. Just turn it off, the sooner the better. Better yet, don't even allow your friends to be subjected to it. This movie is so bad, the powers that be should pull the copies off the shelves to protect the innocent. I forgive Rip Torn. We all should be allowed to make mistakes.

This amazingly awful waste of film tries to be gross-out humor, but it is not funny, its just gross. Unless, of course, you think masturbating large animals is funny. The only possible target audience, young teenage boys, should not see this R-rated dreck. Any adult who would have brought a teenager into this movie should be arrested by the good taste police. Compared to "Freddy Got Fingered," the worst Adam Sandler p***-fest is sophisticated, urbane humor. Compared to "Freddy Got Fingered," "Drowning Mona" is a hilarious, light comedy. Don't waste your time watching this. It isn't worth the wear and tear on your senses.

the fact that i even know the name tom green is proof that with the right publicity anyone could make a movie. i never found his show funny, and saw this movie more out of morbid curiosity than desire to see a comedic genius. (to ensure that he didnt get a penny, i used a free movie pass).

i have seen bad movies. in fact, i love some bad movies. traxx. hysterical. uhf. my tastes run far and wide. but this movie was worse than i had ever anticipated. the last time i laughed this little was first wives club.

avoid it. don't rent it. i know that i'm doing my best to avoid the memories of it.

Freddy Got Fingered is brilliant. I've enjoyed it since seeing it on video cassette around when it left the theater. It wasn't a movie I wanted to see because I didn't care for Tom Green at all. I thought his type of comedy was lame, just pranking but in an offensive way. This movie is NOT about him pranking. In fact, it's a fairly well-thought out, well-shot movie. The dialogue is absurd, but quote-worthy. That's if you enjoy the film. It's garnered a love-hate relationship with movie audiences since it came out. I'm disappointed it hasn't gotten the cult status the movie like The Room has gotten. The Room was just plain bad, terrible acting, directing, etc... Freddy Got Fingered on the other hand, was sharp, witty, and yes, offensive, but in a movie way. Why does Freddy Got Fingered really work. Think of it as Tom Green's f-u to Hollywood. Not that he hated Hollywood, at least I don't think he did. But he did EXPLOIT its excesses in the movie. I mean, the giant explosion alone is an example of this, probably blowing a huge budget on that scene, which I highly doubt was in the original script the way it turned out. He's not only exploiting Hollywood on the budget, but also on what is considered offensive. How did he get away with all the stuff he did? I'm surprised it made it through with an R rating. Tom really pushed the boundaries of decency all for comedy, but looking back at it now, it's almost like he foresaw the way things would go in real life. I mean, everything today is about hyperbole and over reaction, or instant gratification. I also look at the movie as a parallel to Tom Green's life, and how he got the money to make the movie. If you're easily offended, then of course you will hate this movie. The casting was also perfect. Harlan Williams as the best friend, Rip Torn as angry dad, Marisa Coughlan as the girlfriend (she had to say and do some crazy things). The title character 'Freddy' doesn't appear much in the movie and isn't really a huge part of the film, because it's all about watching Gord's journey. But he was still important but he never really takes front and center in the film. I have watched this movie more than a dozen times, and I expect to watch it many more!

If your a fan of Tom Green, this is a must see. This movie was a favorite the 1st time I viewed it nearly 20 years ago. Very odd and just plain bizarre..but thats expected of him. Rip torn was great in this as well as Paul finch..Backwards man I can walk backwards fast as you can...timeless comedy..Tom Green is one of a kind.

The title sez all. Watch this movie and u will regret it for whole ur life because I do. Should have fill my time with more good film other than this. Avoid it at all cost. This guy tryin so hard to make ppl laugh at his not-funny-lame-stupid-joke. Friggin movie!

Delightful drama with subtle comedy makes this film very classy

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.

This movie came out at about the height of tom greens popularity. I used to watch his show religiously and always thought that tom had a unique take on comedy. I rented this shortly after it came out on video expecting big things from green. Instead he used in plot so oversimplified and cliche that a small child would find it immature. And instead of trying to bring something new to the screen comically green attempts to recycle successful and controversial parts of his show. If you spend even a penny to see this movie you're being ripped off.

To say that this film is bad would be an understatement. This film is probably the worst film I've had the misfortune of watching. It is so indescribably bad that no amount of criticism I could dish out could even remotely come close to describing the true nature of this insipid piece of putrid filth.

Tom Green ,in my opinion, is probably the worst actor/comedian to ever appear in cinema. Heed my warning, avoid this turkey like the plague.

Can I put in a vote for less than 1. This movie not only had no plot but it wasn't funny. I normally like dumb funny movies but this was terrible. I felt stupider just having saw it. (yes I know stupider is not a word but that is how I felt it was spelled after seeing this movie.) If your tempted to see this movie tear up a ten dollar bill and then stare at a blank wall for 2 hrs and you will get more enjoyment out that.

Wow, this is so bad. Although I had a few laughs at The Tom Greene Show at MTV, this I can't sit trough. He cuts open a deer, licks at the bone of a broken leg and eats 10 sandwiches at one time while he watches how two horses having sex. And that's just the first 20 minutes. One out of ten for this crap!

this is the absolute worst movie i have ever seen.

the movie was basically a combination of fraudulent retardedness, animal porn, and scenes that only 6 year old boys and immature people find funny.

I have seen some pretty bad movies in the past, but never have i felt so swindled as I did that night after enduring one and a half hours of confusion and disgust.

When I chose to watch Freddy i didn't expect the movie to be an oscar contender, but at the very least something that would be funny.

Honestly, for a comedy, i have never heard so less laughs and so many groans of disgust in a theater in my life.

this movie really deserves a negative rating -3/10

Freddy Got Fingered is an opus of insanity that would make Bluto from Animal House dry heave. It is a film where the boundaries are not only broken through (like before with other gross out comedies), but done with a cheese helmet and a sausage organ.

The film stars Tom Green as a guy who wants to become a cartoonist, but is constantly put down by his father, played in one of the best villain roles in a decade by Rip Torn. While Torn goes crazy here, it is Green here who takes the cake (much like he did in Road Trip), by bringing on a barrage that had me after the movie was over awe.

Not in awe though like I have after seeing GoodFellas or Apocalypse Now, but in awe of what people can do. I was amazed at the scenes (I don't even know if they'll get in here) in which he dances in moose skin, gives hand filled pleasure (so to speak) to a horse and then tops itself (in one movie which always is a amazement) by getting off a elephant and spraying Torn in the process, and also licks the wound of a broken leg. Now, if this had been done wrong, like a flop known as Tomcats, it wouldn't work well. But Green brings on a good timing for his insanity (he directed and co-wrote) and makes it watchable and actually hilarious, if only for myself and the people watching with me.

But that is not to say this film is for everyone; I'm sure there will be people like the Ebert type who will want to blow chunks at the sight of the visuals that Green gives. But if you think you can take it, or just want a disgusting laugh, this film is reccomended. One of the funniest movies of the year, and oddly enough might become a classic. A-

Sigh. I can't believe I saw that movie. It is, of course, the worst I've ever seen. Humor, by its nature, works using circumstance and relationship to cause laughter. While these are not necessary for humor to be present, they are quite helpful. If this movie had a coherent plot, and tied together some of the scenes, the gross-out jokes could actually be quite funny, because we as an audience would develop a relationship with the characters, and their persistent humiliation onscreen would mean more to us.

As it is, we care about no one in the movie. The penises and blood and death, shocking and in some ways funny though they are, don't really mean much. The majority of the movie I spent groaning through stupid scenes that I didn't understand, most of which didn't even have shock appeal. The movie is just bad. It's not that you can't make a disgusting and funny movie with this material. It's just that they didn't.

Gord is an animator. He moves to Hollywood to sell his ideas and lands a job in a cheese sandwich factory. When he is knocked back by Dave Davidson, saying Gord's animations suck, Gord breaks down, quits his job and moves back home; much to his fathers distaste. Gord later meets Betty, who is wheelchair bound. She is trying to make a rocket wheelchair.

Mixed with the simple story, we are "treated" to constant sick and depraved acts that make up this movie. Everything in this movie is wrong, there isn't anything PC about it. Tom Green just didn't push through the boundaries of good taste, he torn them down and ripped them apart. On first viewing you are just stuck in a state of shock from what your seeing. This is real disgusting; and its just bloody hilarious. I laughed so much in this movie. This has some of the sickest stuff i've seen, but cause it takes it too far, its doesn't have any level of seriousness. There is no internal logic either. We just skip from one retarded act to the next, but there isn't a lot of internal logic when it comes to anything you watch of Tom Green.

This does have its audience, and i'm there with them. An ultimate act in bad taste.

I've been watching Tom Green since his show when he was actually funny. In this movie he wrote with his friend Derek Harvie, there's a troubled character named Gord Brody. Gord Brody is 28 years old an he still lives in his parents house. His dad thinks Gord is a screw up (which from the looks of it you want to agree with Rip Torn's character). Tom Green strives to sell his drawings for a cartoon, along the way he encounters animal penises, animal carcasses, a love interest and a ton of inside jokes. Within the first 5 minutes Tom Green is laying on his bed laughing like a retard about a dumb drawing. The excuse, some people loved it and some people flat out hated is not true. I used to be a fan of Tom Green then I saw this piece of garbage where I'm embarrassed to be seen inside the theater. Tom Green makes a complete a** of himself, you might get a chuckle every 30 minutes but that's about it. I would stay away from this just like the country has already decided to do judging from Freddy Got Fingered's poor gross.

I recently found this on DVD for $10 and I'm glad I did. I'd already seen it once before, but subsequent viewings proved to me the genius that this movie is. Nothing is certain in this movie and its humour is beyond compare. The thin plot is a perfect vehicle for Tom Green's style. Random event after random event flies by and it gets funnier all the time. The plot line that eventually explains the title is ridiculous and hilarious. I highly recommend this movie. I don't feel like getting redundant, so I'll just say this: One of the funniest movies ever, perfect for viewing again and again, especially early in the morning. Favourite scenes: the baby being born and the cheese sandwich factory.

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'.

Let me start out by saying that I like Tom Green, that's why I saw this movie. I also thought he did a great job in his supporting role in Road Trip. Which left me wondering what to expect from a movie in which he wrote and starred in. Well, after having seen it, I was profoundly disappointed in this film. While the movie did have a few hilarious scenes (dad telling Gord to make him proud, Gord driving off yelling at the lady to get the f*** out of his way) it was more or less a waste of time. Other than a few funny moments, I found myself constantly checking my watch, wondering how long the revolting, pointless, and mindless film would last. After watching this movie, I truely believe that Tom Green should stick to his improv street antics. 1 of 10
