Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
When 28-year old wannabe animator Gord Brody (Green) leaves the safety of his parents' home to make it big in Hollywood, all hell breaks loose... in hospital rooms, with paraplegic nymphos, in a cheese factory, with farm animals... and much more! Just whe
Amazon.com:
MTV's maniacal prankster, Tom Green, takes his surreal nonsense to the movies in Freddy Got Fingered. Playing a Portland, Oregon, goofball who dreams of becoming an animator, Green barely stitches together a rudimentary plot, but he does pile on the kind of agonizing nonsense that is his stock-in-trade: chewing through an umbilical cord, licking somebody's compound fracture, and presenting a sausage-and-keyboard contraption that surely would have delighted early-20th-century Dadaists. Predictably, Green loses something in the transition from television's freeform, microscopic glare to the more formal demands of cinema, and the result isn't pretty. The trouble is, this stuff is largely unsuitable for the broad scope of a movie and, in contrast to the guerrilla tactics of Green's TV show, is prefabricated for the lumbering process of filmmaking. That, in turn, diminishes the effectiveness of Green's grenade-throwing humour and makes Freddy Got Fingered something of a desperate experience. --Tom Keogh

People are really too hard on this film. It takes a certain brand of sense of humour to like Tom Green, and yes, he's immature. He's a mockery of himself and society, and as dumb as it is, it's freakin genius in a way... Having said that, I recommend "Subway Monkey Tour" over this movie, but this film has some MOMENTS... I enjoy quoting this movie constantly, even though I'm a 25 year old woman. I'm not sure what that says about me, but it usually get a laugh, so who cares. :)

In case you didn't notice, Tom Green is an idiot. Not just in the movies, but in real life too. It's a sad case really. There are many folks who play fools in the movies, like Jim Carrey, who have talent and are likeable. Then you have someone who IS a fool, has no talent and is not likeable, like Tom Green. This movie sucks on so many levels, it's hard to know where to begin. First, it's just not funny. Not at all actually. Second, Tom Green sucks. Third, did I mention Tom Green sucks? Really... if you want to feel like an idiot, run out an buy this movie. Trust me, after you've seen it (you won't make it all the way through I assure you), you'll want to track Tom Green down, beat his skinny ---, and get your money back. This guy is pathetic and I pray his 15 minutes of fame are long gone.

It is for good reason that the "Chicago Sun Times" called this film "a vomitorium." "Freddy Got Fingered" is the most tasteless movie I have ever seen. I thought about giving this film two stars, as a couple of bright spots do present themselves underneath the films execrable veneer, but on balance I couldn't bring myself to do it. The film centers around Tom Green's desire to become an animator in Los Angeles, and his conflicts with his father, Rip Torn. Torn and Anthony Michael Hall provide most of the (few) laughs to be had, although there were three other brief bright points in the film. The animation called "Zebras in America" was stupid yet amusing ("Listen To My Hooves!"); I will never think of half human-half zebra mythical animals the same way again. The sausage organ scene is one of the most musically odious performances I have ever seen, yet Green's singing made it worthwhile as a touchstone for horrible film scores. Finally, the surprise trip to Pakistan for Green and Torn was a quirky and unexpected turn of events. Torn and Hall are the highlights of the film, as their straight man reaction shots are as good as acting can get in this mess. That's pretty much the good. The bad is much, much more extensive.
The film wallows in adolescent self-indulgence, and serves as nothing more than a shock vehicle for Green. While this is no surprise, the depths to which he will plunge (the "New York Times" called him an "artist" for making this film...) is an unwelcome surprise. I certainly could have done without the baby delivery scene (it's worse than you can possible imagine), I never needed to see Rip Torn's rear end in a provocative dance scene, nor did I need the extremely adolescent phallic obsessions manifested with both a horse and an elephant. Just when you think it couldn't possibly get worse Julie Hagerty (What was she thinking?), Green's mother, turns up in bed with Shaquille O'Neal. I was especially unamused with the handicapped girlfriend, Marisa Coughlan (somehow this movie failed to catapult her to stardom) and her ventures as an "amateur rocket scientist," although that was by far not the most annoying aspect of her character, which I suspect was developed strictly from Green's oversized ego. You'll understand when you see the film, believe me: the world "subtlety" does not exist in Tom Green's vocabulary.
The DVD features numerous extras, but the real question is, will you be able to stand watching them? The only one worth anything is Rip Torn's scene-specific commentary track. Tom Green's approach to commentary tracks is stylistically similar to Ray Dennis Steckler's, the exception being that Steckler provides useful information and insight along with narration. Green merely likes to hear himself talk, and provokes the audience to like him even less (if that's possible). There is a track of the audience reaction at the premiere, which is a novel innovation. It's pretty boring in practice, though, as you hear laughs here and there, and a lot of groans at mayhem involving Green with roadkill, Green treating an open leg wound, Green delivering a baby, and purple massaging various large mammals in an impure manner.
I do not recommend this movie for human beings.

Tom Green wrote and directed this movie. It's very funny in a sick way. Tom plays Gordon Brody who wants to go to Hollywood to draw cartoons. After he is turned down, he has to go back and live with mommy and daddy. Gord does all kinds of wierd and funny things throughout the movie. If you are a fan of Tom Green, and twisted comedy, then you'll love FREDDY GOT FINGERED!!!

This is the worst dumb comedy I've ever seen and the worst dumb comedy ever made point blank period.
Premise: Tom Green plays a struggling cartoonist and thats about it.
Opinion: I have nothing against dumb comedies but this one is too STUPID for it's own good. There is no method to his madness. Just random acts of stupidity that reeks of a desperation to get laughs. Im amazed that Tom Green even has fans after seeing this turdfest. Tom doesnt just scrape the bottom of the barrel when it comes to getting laughs, he breaks through the bottom of the barrel scraping the ground the barrel is on to get laughs. And he still fails!!! Tom Green is so pathetic at getting you to laugh in this movie that it comes off as mere desperation. What's so funny about yanking a horse's third leg? What so funny about licking a guy's bleeding pertruding leg fracture after he busted his butt trying to skateboard with dress shoes on? What's so funny about an attractive handicapped young women that gets off on getting whacked with a stick on her leg or this same pretty woman begging this ugly dillhole known as Tom Green to let her give him skull? What's so funny about cutting open a deer's insides and wearing this skin of this deer on his head right before he gets hit by an oncoming semi truck? What so funny about Rip Torn bearing his naked butt in front of his one while Eric B & Rakim's Microphone Fiend plays in the background? Do you find Tom Green yanking off an elephant only to splash elephant semen on his father and get kicked by the same elephant? Is watching a baby get swung around by it's umbilical cord while splattering blood on some Indian women beating tambourines funny to you? Does watching a guy gnaw off an umbilical cord come off as humorous to you? If you find any of what I just wrote funny you'll love this tripe. If not then stay far away from this garbage as humanly possible. This movie is dumb. Dude, Where's My Car dumb and the script looked like it was written by some kooky middle schoolers. I've seen bad movies that were funnier(albeit unintentionally) than this and if I spoiled the movie(for those who havent seen it) for you by giving you all those spoilers then good. I dont want you to see this movie. Its an hour and some odd minutes of your life that you'll never get back. It should be a crime for movies this pitiful to be made. Once that becomes a crime, lock up Tom Green and throw the key in the nearest incinerator as well as every copy of this movie.
