Green, is especially for those audiences who feel that there's something stuffily restrained and fuddy-duddyish about the Farrelly Brothers andSouth Parkand that Chris Morris treats controversial subjects with a tactfulness that borders on the overly fastidious.A gawky, goateed 28-year-old who still lives at home, Gordo (Green) wants to be an animator but mostly goofs around in a strangely hysterical manner that goes beyond the expected Jim Carrey style cut-up to become disturbingly like complete dementia. Gordo's main clash is with his tyrannical but also semi-insane father (Rip Torn), but his life also includes a wheelchair-bound girlfriend (Marisa Coughlan) who likes having her paralysed legs caned and a smug younger brother (the Freddy of the title) who lands up in a home for sexually abused kids (they all sit around watchingThe Texas Chainsaw Massacreon video) when Gordo casually accuses Dad of child abuse during a family counselling session.Typical gags include: Green dressed up in a fresh deerskin being hit by a truck; Green masturbating an elephant to spray Torn with a firehose gusher. Guest appearances: the stars spouse Drew Barrymore (who featured Green inCharlie's Angels), baseball star Shaquille O'Neal, Anthony Michael Hall, Julie Hagerty fromAirplane!. It's more horrible than funny, though there is something almost refreshing about its absolute ruthlessness, which is only abandoned in an out-of-place father-son bonding scene near the end. The film also has an interesting 1970s soundtrack, mostly of punk standards that fit the anything-to-irritate-you attitude. --Kim Newman

Freddy Got Fingered is bound to instantly conjure up an image in your mind and then that said image is bound to be replaced with thoughts of policemen collaring a criminal or a mobster finding out his associate is creaming off some of the profits.

Sorry about the above title. I know everybody is complaining about putting titles up that are just a hook into getting you to read them and then the op turns out to be drivel. Well, this one isn't. Although the film I'm giving the op about IS drivel. Tom Greene is a comedian and MTV host. He is best known for being the guy with the goatee telling the story of Road Trip. He is in an advert for antiperspirant with some tigers and I believe he's also married to Drew Barrymore, who makes a cameo appearance.
~Synopsis~
Gordy (Tome Green) is 28 and still lives at home with his parents (Rip Torn & Julie Hagerty) and dreams of becoming an animator with his cartoons he's been drawing. We heads off to Hollywood to seek his dreams and gets the door slammed in his face, so he turns tail and goes home to his parents. He then tries to re-build his relationship with his father, who thinks of his son as a loser.

Freddy Got Fingered is bound to instantly conjure up an image in your mind and then that said image is bound to be replaced with thoughts of policemen collaring a criminal or a mobster finding out his associate is creaming off some of the profits. Well gentle reader, you'd have been better off sticking with that first infantile image.
This is without doubt one of the worst films I've ever had the misfortune to watch. Looking back now, I am angry at myself for not walking out. I think I was just in a state of shock and couldn't move.
There are so many disgusting scenes in this film, I just don't know where to start and I usually love over the top nonsense, i.e. Peter Jackson's Brain Dead. Our hero masturbating a horse (and I mean really masturbating, it didn't look like special effects), or how about him wearing the freshly killed carcass of a deer, or maybe swinging a stillborn baby around his head by the umbilical cord while the distraught mother is splattered in blood? Your cup of tea? Double Grande Latte for me please! And please don't get me started on the wheelchair-bound girlfriend.
Tom Green, who I admit was great in Road Trip, here seems to think that by saying each line 3 times this somehow makes it intrinsically funny. Well it doesn't. He can't even blame the writer for bad dialogue or the director for steering his performance badly, because he was two and the same. I feel especially sorry for Rip Torn, one of the reasons that The Larry Sanders Show is such an excellent series, because it's just embarrassing to see him in this.
Towards the end of the movie, there is a crowd of demonstrators and one person is holding a sign saying WHEN IS THIS MOVIE GOING TO END?, and I was just thinking the same thing myself. During the credits they show out-takes and Tom Green is seen to stop at the end of one scene and say "What are we doing here?". Well mate, you should have thought of that before you put pen to paper.
One film critic in America said that it scraped the bottom of the barrel, but that would give barrels a bad name and I have to agree.
The only saving grace of the whole evening was that as we were leaving the multiplex, we saw that another screen was just about to start showing The Mummy Returns, so we sneaked in and only then did we did get our money's worth.
And again I hate to go on about it, but please don't go and see this movie. Tom Green should be punished. Wait until it's shown free on television.
Advantages: Its hillarious, Tom Green, controversial. Disadvantages: Some sick and disturbing scenes
Well I've looked at a couple of reviews for this and I can easily say you either think this film is brilliant even for its flaws, or you absolutely hate it and damn it to hell with negative reviews.
Well I happened to love this film so I can tell you now that I'm actually going to say something good about it, unlike a lot of people. Of course you are entitled to your own opinions and respect that I've always known that Tom Greens actions were some ... ...of you who aren't familiar with this man... he's American and he's a comedian, he also owned his own show called the "Tom Green Show", which like this film left nothing to the imagination and was utterly sick and twisted in parts, but hey 10 out of 10 for originality right?... nobody else has the balls to make stuff like this. The only example of really twisted and weird I can remember at present from his show was the episode where he had discovered ...

Advantages: It ends. Eventually. Disadvantages: Everything else about this vulgar attempt at humour
...trash where one scene has Freddy jump out of his car to masturbate a horse in a field for no apparent reason. And just count yourself lucky they spared you the six minutes of footage they shot of him sucking milk from a cow.
Writing about it without resorting to a string of expletive-filled insults is almost as much a test of patience as watching the film itself. The only thing that made it bearable is that at least I now know what a zero-star film ... ...least one. In short this film is about as funny as incestuous child molestation (which, incidentally, it seems to think is hilarious).
VIDEO
1.74:1 anamorphic, reasonable transfer with some noticeable softening of detail but no digital artefacts or other issues.
AUDIO
In some ways the perfect Dolby Digital 5.1 actually serves as a disadvantage as the film is awfully punctuated by a weak rock soundtrack (and I generally enjoy rock). Sound effects ...

Advantages: It's only around 80 minutes, The Sausage Piano Disadvantages: Takes bad taste to a whole new level
...he ignores his other son Freddy who is a far better bet. However soon Gordy is back home and that's when things take a horrible direction. Eventually Gordy spreads the rumour that his father sexually abuse's his brother Freddy although he doesn't mention the fact that Freddy is aged 25. So now you see what the title means. I'd heard a lot of bad things about this film but I was willing to give it a go as I honestly believed that the majority of critics ... ...was in total agreement with the majority. I'm not easily offended but when it comes to bad taste you are always teetering on the line. this film crosses it on nearly every occasion. During the film we see Gordy lick the severe leg wound of his friend, swing a newborn baby around a room by it's umbilical cord and gut a dead deer and goof around wearing it's skin as well as masturbate an elephant. Of course that's aside from the main theme of sexual ...

Advantages: Great Soundtrack, funny in places,Rip Torn, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Marisa Coughlan Disadvantages: Too much like the Tom Green Show, Weak Plot by numbers that really detracts from the potential
...and if your wondering who Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is, well he’s Gord’s little brother and the origin of the title is actually one of the films funnier scenes.
It’s not a family film and as far as comedy goes it is certainly more suited to stumbling in after a heavy night out and sticking it on. There are a number of funny moments but in places it just gets far too silly and dare I say disgusting. You just have to look at the scene with the dead ... ...film, something I’m sure I’ll find out tonight but until then there is no way I can give Freddy Got Fingered anymore than 2 stars. If you love Tom Green in Road Trip you may love this, but more than likely you’ll find him slightly too much.

...recorder (pardon the pun) was Freddy got fingered. The film, in sketchy terms, is about a character in his late twenties named Gord (exactly!), played by Tom Green, who is, supposedly, a cartoon animator, still living with his parents, but decides to finally move out and make his own life in Hollywood. The film, from then onwards, revolves around the various characters he encounters, and the, supposedly (that word pops up again!), hilarious situations ... ...already know this, gained his fame via his sometimes fairly sick show on MTV. His parents were mainly the victims of his unfunny practical jokes – I think he once left either a cow’s or horse’s head (a real one!), with blood and all, in their bed while they were sleeping, only to think it amusing when they finally got up and found it there. Tom’s romance and subsequent marriage to Drew Barrymore, who makes a brief cameo appearance ...

Review
"...[Green stages] his gross-outs with a demented but unmistakable integrity..." (New York Times, p.E18, 20/04/2001)
"...The gross-out routines arrive like a medley of Green's greatest hits..." (Rolling Stone, p.93-4, 10/05/2001)
DVD Description
Self-made celebrity and outlaw of gross-out comedy, Tom Green (of MTV's TOM GREEN SHOW) makes the leap to the big screen with the outrageous semi-autobiographical FREDDY GOT FINGERED. Starring as Gord Brody, a slacker fast-approaching 30, yet still living in his father's basement, Green is his usual obtusely hilarious, polymorphously perverse self. Physical comedy ascends to the realm of extreme performance art as Brody's unachievable lifelong dream to become an animator causes him to clash with his hardened father (played by the steely and equally funny Rip Torn.) A furtive love affair with a wheelchair-bound rocket scientist and the disturbing hijinks of a troublesome younger brother named Freddy form the core of the sublimely stupid plot that serves mainly as a platform from which Green launches his incredible and often irrational comedic fare. Testing the limits of comedy, Green's deceptively moronic film does, at times, achieve a level of visual and conceptual cleverness, crafting ironic and primordial images from jokes on human folly.
